China is expected to import about 3.5 million tons of LNG in April, a 30% year-on-year decrease, according to Kpler data.
This would mark the lowest monthly LNG import level for China since April 2018, as higher prices reduce demand.
The price surge is linked to the ongoing Middle East war, impacting global energy markets and prompting Chinese buyers to scale back LNG purchases.
