LNG: ARGUS Northeast Asia des (ANEA) price assessment

The ARGUS Northeast Asia des (ANEA) LNG price assessment

The ANEA price is a daily physical spot price assessment for LNG cargoes delivered ex-ship (des) to ports in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China. The assessment is of prices for deliveries across four half-month windows that start 2-5 half months forward from the date of assessment.

The ANEA price assessment is used as a reference for spot LNG trading and represents market activity in the major LNG demand centre of northeast Asia. The region accounts for the majority of LNG demand globally.

Argus also assesses a forward price for the ANEA assessment. This is for physically delivered LNG for six forward months and four forward quarters.
