When the US freezes, the global LNG market catches a cold
An Arctic blast sweeping across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest has triggered a sharp rally in natural gas prices on fears of production disruptions. The spike has reverberated across overseas markets, underlining the growing globalization of the U.S.-dominated liquefied natural gas trade.
