Assessment
Read the full assessment
The Iran war has confirmed a structural re-routing of global LNG trade, significantly boosting demand for U.S. LNG exports and leading Cheniere Energy to raise its earnings outlook. Concurrently, disrupted Middle East LNG supply has reportedly driven down overall global gas demand as Europe and Asia substitute with renewables and coal, pushing gas prices to four-year highs. The magnitude and duration of these shifts remain uncertain.
