$EQNR just slapped a delay on its Hammerfest LNG upgrade, and that’s got some energy traders raising eyebrows. The move pushes back capacity expansion just as global gas tightness is supposed to ease, which could keep pricing volatility in play. LNG markets are already messy with supply/demand mismatches, and this just adds another “wait longer” signal to the tape. For energy bulls it’s a mixed setup, patience could pay if demand stays strong, but timing the trade matters more than ever.
