JKM fell to a five-week low of mis-USD 12s on 12 September due to general declines in TTF and oil prices.
Then, the price rebounded on 13 September due to rising of demand in Northeast Asia. METI announced on 11 September that Japan’s LNG inventories for power generation as of 8 September stood at 2.09 million tonnes, up 0.26 million tonnes from the previous week.
