On January 17, Kpler data showed that in the first two weeks of 2025, the EUs imports of liquefied natural gas from Russia increased year-on-year. From January 1 to January 15, the 27 EU member states imported about 838,000 tons of liquefied natural gas, compared with about 760,000 tons in the same period last year, indicating that Europe is still dependent on Russian energy. Since breaking through 50 euros per megawatt-hour in early January, European natural gas prices have fallen sharply, but they are still supported by rapid inventory consumption and supply concerns after the expiration of the transportation agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The EUs current natural gas storage level is 63% and continues its sharp decline. Analysts say that in order to achieve this years storage target, Europe will need to further increase imports of liquefied natural gas.1. JD.com (JD.O) rose more than 5% before the market opened.
