The incrementability guidelines for Asia LNG derivatives will also change to allow for bids and offers to improve by up to 20 cents/MMBtu every 30 seconds, as opposed to the current 10 cents/MMBtu every 30 seconds.

These changes reflect the current volatility in the market due to European gas market price movements.
