[Jefferies: Attacks in the Middle East disrupt LNG outlook, reshape risk pricing] Caixin Global, March 19—Attacks on key energy infrastructure in the Middle East are reshaping the market’s risk assessment for liquefied natural gas. Jefferies analysts said: “Duration is the dominant variable.” They added: “As time passes, price increases may slow some growth in demand from price-sensitive buyers, and change how buyers evaluate long-term LNG investment decisions. Because LNG infrastructure takes a long time to restart, even a brief disruption in supply tightens supply immediately and creates more lasting ripple effects. The current scarcity also weakens expectations of global LNG oversupply. These analysts said: “The disruption today has already led to significant supply interruptions and introduces uncertainty to the timing of future supply.”
