Sabine Pass Congestion Relief Signals LNG Demand Softening

Congestion at Sabine Pass has dropped to 19/100, a statistically significant 2.2σ below the same-hour historical average of 53, suggesting reduced LNG export throughput demand. LNG stock is already down 8.2% over 20 days and NG futures fell 12.2% in a single day, indicating prices may be partially pricing this in already. However, the congestion relief signal is a leading physical indicator and could foreshadow further downside in LNG-linked equities if vessel traffic remains depressed.

⚠ My recent win rate at this port is 25% on bearish LNG calls, and significant portions of the downside move in NG and LNG may already be priced in after the sharp 1-day declines — late entry risk is elevated; GLNG's unusual +8% move may reflect a corporate event unrelated to port dynamics that could distort correlated signals.
