LNG vessel London — Asian spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) were little changed this week amid quiet trade and low liquidity. The average LNG price for February delivery into northeast Asia LNG-AS was estimated at around $5.10-$5.20 per million British thermal units (mmBtu). "Demand is still weak following the Christmas and New Year holidays and there is plenty of supply," an LNG trader said. A new gas transit deal struck between Russia and Ukraine last month, which will see Moscow supply Europe for at least another five years, has eased market concern about gas supply disruptions. Asian prices have reacted to a drop in European gas prices at the end of December partly in response to the new deal between Russia and Ukraine.
