據道瓊斯4月12日消息，瑞士信貸表示，未來幾年全球液化天然氣（LNG）市場將趨于緊張,因為新增液化產能將從2016年至2020年期間的約3000萬噸/年大幅下降至2021年至2023年期間的1000萬噸/年，同時需求在2040年前每年將增加1700萬噸。至于短期歐洲天然氣，瑞士信貸表示，今年夏季的需求應該會更高，因為庫存水平略低于5年平均水平。瑞士銀行將夏季價格預期上調0.4美元/百萬英熱單位，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.
