Due to export disruptions in Qatar, Pakistan urgently purchases liquefied natural gas

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on June 30 that the continued tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have obstructed Qatar's liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Pakistan, prompting Pakistan to urgently purchase a batch of LNG for immediate delivery this week. According to informed traders, Pakistan LNG Company bought supplies from BP at a price of $16.74 per million British thermal units, for delivery between June 30 and July 4. On the same day, the spot price in the Asian market was around $15 per million British thermal units. This emergency procurement indicates that buyers still cannot rely on normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, a vessel carrying Qatari oil was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz; a few days earlier, a container ship flying the Singaporean flag was also attacked. Shipping data shows that since then, Qatar's LNG trade via the Strait of Hormuz appears to have been interrupted.```
