Winter Is Coming: The Rise Of Liquefied Natural Gas In The Energy Market – Not Everyone Will Be A Winner
Portfolio Pulse from Kevin Green
The energy sector is in the spotlight due to fluctuations in oil prices and a resurgent interest in heating oil. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to gain significant attention due to volatile inventory levels in the EU, labor disruptions in supply hubs, and geopolitical tensions. The U.S., a major player in the global LNG market, exported 3.8 trillion cubic feet of LNG in 2022. Last week, a dip in EU LNG inventories and Chevron Australia’s LNG strikes led to a spike in the price of UK Natural Gas and Henry Hub futures. Chevron (NYSE:CVX), ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), Cheniere Energy (NYSEAMERICAN: LNG), and Shell (NYSE:SHEL) are mentioned in the context of the LNG market.
