Market Chatter: Taiwan Moves to Secure LNG Supplies as Middle East Tensions Persist

MT Newswires Live06-02

Taiwan has concluded liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping schedules for June to August and is making winter procurement arrangements, amid Middle East tensions, state news agency CNA reported, citing Premier Cho Jung-tai's Cabinet meeting address.

Cho said the government has reviewed supplies of energy, agricultural inputs, and petrochemical feedstocks and confirmed overall domestic supply remains stable with prices gradually normalizing, according to the report.

He added that LNG shipping plans for summer have been set, and winter procurement planning is underway, while industrial gas prices will rise by 5% in June, but residential and power-related rates will remain unchanged. The government will continue price-stabilization measures and inspections to prevent unreasonable price increases and maintain market stability, CNA said.
