Bloomberg Finance reported that average front-month futures prices for LNG cargoes in East Asia decreased 2 cents to a weekly average of $9.59/MMBtu
Natural gas futures for delivery at the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) in the Netherlands increased 50 cents to a weekly average of $10.22/MMBtu.
In the same week last year (week ending January 15, 2025), the prices were $14.15/MMBtu in East Asia and $14.00/MMBtu at TTF.
