Context and risks
Cheniere's exposure to long-term LNG contracts with prices linked to oil and the Henry Hub index makes it vulnerable to energy price volatility, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The fall in gold and a stronger dollar add macroeconomic pressure, although the direct effect on LNG demand is limited.
