  • Temperatures in NW Europe are expected above normal for the coming few days but forecast to drop below normal into the last few days of the month.
  • Norwegian pipeline supplies to Europe are today nominated at 221.0mcm/d, according to Bloomberg. Gassco shows outages of 156.4mcm/d today.

  • Asia’s spot LNG prices were little changed this week amid muted market activity due to Gastech, Reuters said,
  • Atlantic LNG spot charter rates are showing seasonal weakness as the Spark Atlantic spot freight assessment was at a low of ~57$k/day in mid-September, according to Timera Energy.
