European imports (ex-Turkey) last month sat at their lowest March levels since 2019, a reflection of a tepid demand picture driven by mild winter weather and weak power sector demand.

In response, Asian LNG imports rose above 23 million tons last month, a record high for the month of March, and an indication that the region’s price-sensitive buyers (particularly China, India, and Thailand) are returning to the spot market in force.
