La spotification du marché du gaz naturel liquéfié: origine et implications
Authors
January 13, 2016

En raison de la distance géographique existante entre les zones principales de consommation et de production et de l’existence consécutive de coûts logistiques importants, le marché du gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) s’est historiquement structuré autour de contrats d’approvisionnement de long terme indexés sur les prix pétroliers. Avec le développement récent des gaz de schiste et une croissance européenne atone, l’excès d’offre de GNL favorise désormais le développement des marchés spot, notamment en Asie, par nature plus flexibles et déconnectés des prix pétroliers. Dans cette optique, il n’est pas impossible que la filière du GNL se financiarise à plus ou moins long terme.

    Beyond partisan rhetoric, November's election in the United States can determine America's approach to a rapidly shifting world order. Donald Trump's first term, from 2016 to 2020, marked a historic departure from the post-Second World War bipartisan consensus. His ‘America First’ approach introduced a transactional view of international relations that continues to shape the current political landscape. This approach was seen in actions such as Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Clim ...
