据道琼斯4月12日消息，瑞士信贷表示，未来几年全球液化天然气（LNG）市场将趋于紧张,因为新增液化产能将从2016年至2020年期间的约3000万吨/年大幅下降至2021年至2023年期间的1000万吨/年，同时需求在2040年前每年将增加1700万吨。至于短期欧洲天然气，瑞士信贷表示，今年夏季的需求应该会更高，因为库存水平略低于5年平均水平。瑞士银行将夏季价格预期上调0.4美元/百万英热单位，至5.6美元。

LNG Market Is Tightening as Demand Outpaces Capacity

The liquefied natural gas market will tighten over the next few years, Credit Suisse says, as liquefaction capacity additions are expected to fall to 10 million metric tons a year in 2021-23 from around 30 million in 2016-20, and demand is expected to grow at a rate of 17 million tons a year until 2040. As for short-term European gas, Credit Suisse says summer demand should be higher this year because inventory levels are slightly below the five-year average. The Swiss bank raises its summer price forecast by $0.4 per million British thermal units, to $5.6.
