On December 27, PetroChina auctioned, the price of raw materials decreased, and the pressure of manufacturers reduced, but the market was abundant in supply, and the inventory was in a high position, so the manufacturers continued to reduce prices and make shipments. Recently, there are rain, snow and heavy fog in many places in the north, LNG shipment is blocked, tank transportation is not smooth, and air pollution emergency response has been issued in many places, environmental protection “shutdown order” has affected the gas consumption of LNG industry in some areas, and there is no large-scale replenishment demand, pipeline gas is relatively abundant, and LNG price is under pressure.
