Podcast - China LPG market weekly takeaway: supply tightness supports prices, but momentum fades

China's LPG market held firm during the week, supported by tighter supply despite weaker international crude oil prices. China's domestic LPG prices increased, while producer and port inventories declined as lower import arrivals outweighed the recovery in domestic LPG production.

However, the supply-demand balance is expected to weaken in the coming week as domestic supply and import arrivals recover while demand remains subdued.

Key takeaways:

Supply tightness continued to support China's LPG prices, as lower import arrivals outweighed the recovery in domestic LPG production and inventories continued to decline.
Supply is set to recover further, with China's domestic LPG production expected to increase and import arrivals likely to rebound as weather-related disruptions ease.
Price momentum could fade in the coming week, as rising supply is likely to outpace demand recovery. China's LPG prices could fluctuate by around 50 yuan per tonne, with stronger supply weighing on the upside while firm international costs provide support.
