Axpo Singapore

🚀 It’s a wrap for the CME Group APAC Commodities Forum 2024, and what an insightful event it was!   Axpo Singapore's Senior LNG Trader Adrian Ang took part in an engaging panel on "Energy Markets Rebalancing and Transition to Clean Energy Sources", sharing his analysis on the #LNG market's short-term future:   ⚡By 2030, the #LNG market is expected to grow from 400M to 600M tonnes per year - mainly driven by the U.S. and Qatar. 📉 This growth will likely impact prices, benchmarks, volatility, and trade flows - requiring strategic navigation. 🌏 Affordable LNG will be vital for emerging markets - especially in Asia, where accessible energy could power major economic growth.   The #EnergyTransition is moving forward, and we will continue to monitor how the markets move, day in, day out.   #Axpo #CMEForum #EnergyMarkets #CleanEnergy #EnergySolutions #EnergyCommodities #LNGMarket

💼 In S&P Global Commodity Insights’ "Women in Energy" event run by #Platts in #APPEC, Sophie Ducoloner, Manager Director at Axpo Singapore, shared her thoughts on the key challenges faced by women in the #EnergySector — including underrepresentation, pay disparity, and the importance of achieving a work-life balance — highlighting the crucial role of networking and mentorship in advancing women's careers. But that was just the beginning:   ⚡ Sophie also discussed the shifting #LNG markets, deeply impacted by recent geopolitical events: "Suddenly, you not only had Asia being dependent on LNG, but also Europe, a major gas centre, in terms of demand [...]"; "any move, any single outage and sentiment of risk [...] increases the upside risk and the volatility dramatically."   🚀 As for Axpo's plans in Asia, she adds: "We are now in a scaling-up phase where we see growth in all our markets to develop a regional portfolio, but we can optimize globally on LNG. We also see more and more liquidity on #power and #gas futures [...] in Asia; we're progressing in the productivity and risk management solutions , and #LPG is a success story in the region. [...] We continue to expand the team and [...] and have a solid business that is set up to grow." 📽️ Get the full interview with Sophie here: https://lnkd.in/gTbXG4Fr   #AxpoSingapore #WomenInEnergy #EnergySolutions #EnergyTrading #EnergyTransition #EnergyCommodities

Economy, storms, tensions, and policy shifts | What’s shaping the global energy markets? 🌍⚡ August has ended, but the energy markets landscape is constantly changing, with gloomy macroeconomics, conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, plus weather risks in the US, impacting #EnergyMarket stability and affecting European #gas and global #coal supplies. Some highlights: ➡️ The global #LNG market is under pressure, declining LNG demand in Asia raises the likelihood of additional LNG cargoes being redirected to European markets. ➡️ Economic uncertainty is contributing to demand destruction in Europe, though it is currently easing some of the supply pressures. ➡️ Key macroeconomic and policy events like the upcoming US elections and Mario Draghi’s competitiveness report will likely shape global energy markets. 🗳️ 🔍 Gearing up for the winter season – uncover this month’s insights in the European Energy Market Summary by Andy Sommer, Head of Fundamental #Analysis, #Modelling & #Meteorology and his team: https://lnkd.in/edq3vTGm #AxpoAnalysis #EnergyCommodities #EnergyMarkets
