Jera Forecasts Rising LNG Prices Amid Winter Demand
Jera's Global CEO Yukio Kani predicts rising spot liquefied natural gas prices due to low inventories in Europe and supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking at Gastech 2026, he stated that these factors will contribute to higher LNG prices ahead of winter.
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic waterway for oil and gas exports from the Middle East to Asia. Disruptions here can significantly impact global energy supplies and prices.
Kani's comments come as gas markets are already under pressure, with spot prices expected to rise ahead of winter demand.
