LNG is trading at $244.83 (6.1% up) in after-hours trading following news of an explosion at Qatar’s Barzan facility in Ras Laffan Industrial City.

• The incident at the key gas hub has injected uncertainty into global gas supply, boosting sentiment for U.S. LNG exporters like Cheniere.
• Although officials stated that core export capacity remains unaffected, the market is reacting to potential disruptions in the global supply chain.
• The price move appears to be sector-specific and supply-driven, as broader U.S. indices remained mixed during the session.
