据路透社8月12日消息称，路透社报道称，由于日本、韩国和中国近期天气炎热，一些买家希望购买液化天然气，亚洲液化天然气现货价格最近出现小幅上涨。

最近，一些液化天然气货物首次在三到四年内以低于每百万英热单位4.00美元的价格出售，而现在，亚洲液化天然气现货的售价略高于每百万英热单位4美元。

目前估计运往东北亚的液化天然气现货约为每百万英热单位4.20美元，比上次报告的估计高出10美分。目前估计10月份的现货价格为每百万英热单位4.75美元。

Increased market activity prompts Asian LNG spot price rise

Reuters is reporting that Asian LNG spot prices have recently experienced a small rise, due to several buyers looking to purchase cargoes in light of the recent hot weather in Japan, South Korea and China.

After some cargoes were recently sold for less than US$4.00 per million Btu for the first time in three to four years, Asian LNG spot cargoes are now selling just above the US$4.00 per million Btu mark.

LNG spot cargoes for delivery to northeast Asia are currently estimated to be approximately US$4.20 per million Btu – 10 cents higher than the last reported estimates. Spot prices for October are currently estimated to be US$4.75 per million Btu.
