The Pentagon’s largest contractor reported that it would be able to reduce the cost of producing its F-35A jet a year earlier than its intended date.

The program is also aimed at reducing the price of the F-35A fighter to $80 million due to increased efficiency and with large orders.

In the coming years, Lockheed Martin is expected to produce...

And the same Qatari, Australian LNG is supplied to Asian markets mainly with oil rate. June 20 futures set at 2.185 dollars per million British thermal units, which is on the most decreasing spot for the contract for the first month since 2016.
