Asia's LNG imports have dropped to their lowest level since June 2020 due to the Middle East war disrupting supply and causing prices to soar. The 30-day moving average of LNG shipments fell below 600,000 tons, with China facing its lowest monthly imports in eight years. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has stranded Qatari and UAE supplies, while Iranian missile attacks on Qatar's LNG facilities have led to a $20 billion annual revenue loss for QatarEnergy. Consequently, Asian LNG prices have nearly doubled, with buyers outbidding Europe for spot supply.

Qatar has announced the resumption of maritime navigation for all vessels in its territorial waters, effective Sunday, signaling a thaw in the Persian Gulf's energy lanes. This move follows a month-long paralysis of maritime exports due to an Iranian attack. Vessels will navigate only during daylight hours, indicating ongoing security concerns. Analysts predict that this partial return of Qatari LNG shipments could lower global gas prices, which have been elevated due to supply constraints. However, the situation remains risky, with ongoing negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
