The Northeast Asian assessed spot LNG price JKM (December delivery) for last week (4 – 8 November) rose to high-USD 13s on 8 November from high-USD 12s the previous weekend (1 November). In the first half of the week, JKM rose to low-USD 13s due to a sharp decline in the previous week but temporarily fell on 6 November on the sidelines of the U.S. election.
Later in the week, the price rose to high-USD 13s due to buying interest for winter. METI announced on 6 November that Japan’s LNG inventories for power generation as of 3 November stood at 2.12 million tonnes, up 0.05 million tonnes from the previous week.

In the beginning of the week, TTF rose due to a fall in wind power output. In the middle of the week, the price fell due to the warm weather forecast, but the price rose due to a decline in the temperature forecast and a fall in renewable energy output.
