US LNG exports, on destination-free terms, have been regarded as the game changer for the market in recent years. But this view neglects the role played by China’s rising demand, and the changes taking place among traditional LNG buyers in Northeast Asia, which are driving the rapid establishment of an LNG trading hub.

The Middle East LNG Institute facilitated The LNG Roundtable, supported by S&P Global Platts, in Singapore in July. Against the backdrop of LNG’s fast-increasing commoditization, participants debated “How to Trigger ‘LNG Markets 2.0’ to be Fit for Purpose for the Great Energy Transition?”, with 45 individuals from more than 30 of Asia’s key LNG trading, broking and exchange companies participating, the vast majority actively contributing to the event’s discussions. |

Welcome to the first version of The Oil Big Five for 2016, when we round up some of the biggest news and trends from the global oil industry and think to ourselves: Wow, things sure have changed since our first post. But then, that’s oil for you: Things are always changing, and yet some things remain the same. We asked our oil editors and analysts around the world for what they think are outstandingly important drivers in the markets, and these are items they chose, in no particular order. |

There are certain months that have obvious potential for big news, and June looks like one of them. November 2014 was another one, and this month’s iteration of The Oil Big Five follows up on many of the themes that were raised then. We reached out to Platts oil editors and analysts worldwide to see what they were keeping an eye on in June, and these topics came back as immediate responses. We hope you’re tracking them as well, and be sure to leave us a comment and let us know your thoughts on the issues below or on Twitter, using the hashtag #oilbig5. If you’re not as concerned about these topics, then let us know what you are watching and what we should be watching as well. |

How about two islands due south of Brooklyn? (If you’re interested and your name is Mr. Moneybags from Monopoly, they are still for sale, a Realtor said this week.) Here is where we pivot. It used to be that a $3 million deal for 25,000 barrels of Gulf Coast gasoline happened almost every trading day. |
