據歐洲石油6月9日消息，日本進口LNG現貨價格在5月份跌至最低點。在最新的月度報告中，能源部指出，5月份基于合同的現貨LNG價格達到了2.2美元/百萬英熱。由于新型冠狀病毒大流行對大宗商品需求的持續影響，金價從上月的2.4美元/百萬英熱回落。

與2019年5月日本經濟產業省報告的基于合同的價格為5.4美元/百萬英熱相比，價格下跌了59.3%。

以到達為基礎的價格下滑了13.3%。日本經濟產業省(METI)顯示，價格已達到2.6美元/百萬英熱，而4月份的價格為3美元/百萬英熱。

與2019年5月相比，到達價格下降了50.9%。值得一提的是，2019年5月到達價格為5.3美元/百萬英熱。

本次評估只考慮現貨LNG貨物，不包括短期、中期和長期合同貨物，以及那些與特定價格指數相關的貨物。

Japan’s spot LNG prices hit new lows in May

Prices of spot liquefied natural gas (LNG) imported into Japan have reached their lowest point in May.

In its latest monthly report, the ministry noted the contract-based spot LNG price for May reached $2.2 per mmBtu. The price slipped from $2.4 per mmBtu in the previous month pushed by the continued effect of coronavirus pandemic on commodities demand.

Compared to May 2019 when METI reported a contract-based price of $5.4 per mmBtu, the price slipped 59.3 per cent.

The arrival-based price slipped 13.3 per cent. METI shows the price reaching $2.6 per mmBtu, which compares to $3 per MMBtu in April.

Compared to May 2019, the arrival-based price slipped 50.9 per cent. To remind, the May 2019 arrival-based price was at $5.3 per mmBtu.

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.
