This week, the domestic LNG market gradually improved, showing a mixed market at the beginning of the week. Shanxi led the market, and stopped rising in the middle and late weeks.

Domestic LNG temporarily bid farewell to the multi-day decline.

Near the end of the month, the auction of feed gas in the first half of December is imminent, which may continue to favor the upward trend of LNG price. However, the overall supply of the market is sufficient. At the same time, the industrial demand will decline due to environmental protection factors, or the sharp rise of liquid price will be restrained, and the market will be stronger in the short term.
