CME Group’s Chart of the Month series delivers exclusive global gas insights to your inbox, every month to help you stay one step ahead of the natural gas marketplace.
Our Chart of the Month charts the rise of global gas price formation. Not so long ago, there was no such thing as a global gas market. Just three regional markets with little interaction between them. Today, there can be no doubt that has changed, and our Chart of the Month shows the clear link between US, European and Asian gas prices. But what is the logic behind the link and how did it come about?
In short, flexible and plentiful US LNG cargoes, and a trend for coal to gas plant switching in the European power sector. You can find more about the patterns and logic of the link in our Chart of the Month and accompanying analysis.
Every month, CME Group publishes exclusive insight from market analysts at Timera Energy. Each chart takes a deep dive into the global natural gas markets, coupled with a sharp, succinct explanation.
