與2019年4月相比，以合同為基礎的價格下跌了53.9%，低于每百萬英熱5.2美元。

METI報告稱，到2020年4月，基于抵達的液化天然氣現貨價格為每百萬英熱3美元。需要注意的是，3月份沒有任何基于到港的交易報告。

然而，與2019年4月能源部公布的每百萬英熱5.9美元的價格相比，下降了49.2％。

本次評估只考慮液化天然氣現貨，不包括短期、中期和長期合約貨物，以及與特定價格指數掛鉤的貨物。

Japan’s spot LNG prices below $3 per mmBtu in April

Data from the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) shows the contract-based price slipped to $2.3 per mmBtu down from $3.4 per mmBtu in March. This is a 29.4 per cent drop.

Compared to April 2019, the contract-based price slipped 53.9 per cent, down from $5.2 per mmBtu.

METI reported the arrival-based spot LNG price at $3 per mmBtu for April 2020. To remind, there were no arrival-based deals reported in March.

However, compared to April 2019 when the ministry reported a price of $5.9 per mmBtu, this is a 49.2 per cent drop.

Only spot LNG cargoes are taken into account in this assessment, excluding short, medium and long-term contract cargoes, as well as those linked to a particular price index.
