High conviction LNG

Report by BlackRobin Group

LNG producer and shipping company Golar LNG offers an interesting high-yield trade in the credit and commodity liquid natural gas market. Gas futures remain volatile but the energy crisis is here to stay. The UK, for example, has asked Qatar to be its LNG supplier of last resort and diverted 4 tankers last week to the UK. With favourable market trends, the risks rely on management’s ability to execute successfully their strategy with no operational mishaps.
