📉 Profit margins for US LNG exporters are being squeezed by falling European and Asian gas pricing combined with rising prices in the US. This could influence investment decisions for future LNG projects and volumes exported by existing projects.

🌏 Despite concerns over Chinese manufacturing output due to the US tariffs, data shows that exports to Europe and Southeast Asia are offsetting the decreases. This could maintain regional energy, and by extension gas, demand.

⚡️ EU energy commissioner warns a lack of interconnectors across EU is creating excessive grid bottlenecks and could slow the energy transition. His statements come ahead of the unveiling of the EU’s policy package to expand the electricity network on Wednesday.
