JAPAN ELECTRIC UTILITIES GROUP HEAD: WILL JOIN A NATIONWIDE EFFORT TO ENSURE A STABLE LNG SUPPLY IN RESPONSE TO IRAN CRISIS

日本央行行长植田和男：将继续与政府保持密切沟通。

Natural gas traders are assessing the impact of Iranian strikes that caused “extensive damage” to Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar, the world’s largest LNG hub producing about a fifth of global supply. Shipments were already halted, but further damage could prolong disruptions. European gas prices have risen over 70% and Asian LNG futures 88% since the conflict began, while US futures gained up to 6.3%.
