美國天然氣市場最新動態:需求疲軟令市場承壓,期貨價格下跌

By

-- 週二午盤交易中,美國天然氣期貨價格下跌,結束了先前連續四個交易日的上漲勢頭。市場預測顯示,國內需求疲軟,近期氣溫偏暖。 亨利樞紐近月合約和連續合約均下跌2.41%,至每百萬英熱單位2.798美元。 NRG公司表示,受東北部和中西部以外大部分地區天氣溫和的影響,預計週一天然氣需求將減少40億立方英尺/日,週二降至954億立方英尺/日。這主要得益於居民和商業用氣量的下降。 然而,電力業的天然氣需求卻增加了約23億立方英尺/日,達到324億立方英尺/日,反映出氣溫升高帶動了用電量的增加。 Aegis Hedging公司表示,夏季居民天然氣需求相對較小且穩定,通常在80億至110億立方英尺/日之間,去年5月至9月的平均需求約為95億立方英尺/日。 相較之下,電力需求遠高於天然氣,且波動性更大,去年平均日需求量為 411 億立方英尺,並受天氣影響出現劇烈波動。因此,在溫暖的月份,電力需求已成為天然氣市場趨勢的主要驅動因素。 Trading Economics 表示,在供應方面,由於價格低迷,生產商縮減了產量,導致產量有所下降。 Gelber and Associates 表示,天然氣產量為 1100 億立方英尺/日,預計下週將有所增長,而加拿大進口量仍為 44 億立方英尺/日,遠低於 4 月下旬的峰值,因此供應狀況比需求狀況更為穩定。 天然氣庫存水準仍比歷史平均高出 7%。 近幾日,液化天然氣原料氣流量也有所下降,NRG 週二估計為 173 億立方英尺/日。 Gelber and Associates公司表示,目前液化天然氣原料氣的流量為178億立方英尺/日,為兩週以來的最低水平,比4月下旬的高點低約11%,春季檢修持續限制了出口。 Aegis公司列出的目前檢修地點包括Cameron、Calcasieu Pass和Corpus Christi LNG。

Market Chatter: Japan Advances Energy Loan Talks With South Africa, Promotes Ammonia Co-Firing

Japan is accelerating talks on a yen-denominated energy loan for South Africa while promoting ammonia co-firing technology, Bloomberg said Tuesday, citing Japanese diplomatic officials.Japan will use the proposed loan to support South Africa's energy transition, though it did not disclose the amount, the report said, citing officials.Japan's initiative adds to about $10 billion in climate financing already pledged to South Africa by European countries under an existing energy transition agreement.Germany and Japan are expanding efforts to position their companies in South Africa, targeting opportunities in a market with strong solar and significant green hydrogen production potential.Leaders first discussed the loan during a meeting between President Cyril Ramaphosa and former Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in Yokohama in August, the report added.Japan is promoting ammonia co-firing, which replaces part of coal use at power plants with ammonia to reduce emissions while maintaining existing infrastructure.South Africa can produce green hydrogen using its solar and wind resources, then convert it into ammonia for easier storage and transport, supporting cleaner energy pathways.However, critics say ammonia co-firing could extend the life of coal plants, as South Africa still generates about three-quarters of its electricity from coal, the report noted.has reached out to South Africa's Department of Electricity and Energy for any comments.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
