Originally, oil exports from Arab nations were to be reduced by 5% monthly until Israel met the demands of the Arab nations. However, in December, a full embargo was put in place, restricting all trade of oil. Following the events of this first oil crisis, Japan became more aware to their vulnerability to external oil prices and began focusing on increasing their self-dependence on their own natural resources and energy sources. Their whole oil industry was redesigned. 805: 845:
people, domestically and internationally. Lockdown created a halt in economic activity as people were unable to leave home to attend jobs or to support the economy (e.g. tourism, travel, shopping), affecting both supply and demand. Inability for movement impacted the oil industry heavily as travel restrictions correlate to a cut in demand for jet fuel. The closure of factories and reduced commute amid the crisis further reduced need for fuels.

index to hub-based pricing such as the Henry Hub and Dutch Title Transfer. However, most East Asian nations continue to use the JCC to price LNG.  cheaper alternative.  In 2014, senior gas analyst at the Institute of Energy Economics, Hiroshi Hashimoto, stated “the aim is to link 100% to Henry Hub prices, rather than JCC as has been the custom globally”.
965: 781:(GFC) was one of the greatest periods of extreme economic stress since the 1930s. Thousands of businesses suffered heavy losses and/or bankruptcy, with millions of people losing their jobs. The intense period of recession's influential impact on the JCC is highly notable, observed in the first spike seen in 'Crude oil import Prices in Japan 1980-2019' graph. 788:(GDP) is in elevated periods, disposable income is greater, allowing for increased purchase of goods. This creates dependent relationship oil consumption growth rates have with GDP growth rates. It can be observed that in periods of high GDP growth rate, oil consumption growth rates soon also increase. The same can be said for decreases in GDP grow rates. 981:
prices. This is due to the fact that the JCC is derived from the price of crude oil when imported into Japan. However, this figure can greatly change from the international market price on the day of transportation. By shifting to a gas-based pricing index, LNG contracts can be based on current market value, remaining competitive with other indexes.
976:
The main concern for users is that JCC is predominately used for pricing LNG contracts. Oil-based LNG contracts are priced considerably higher than alternatives as they reflect the price of oil imports. In European and North American nations, LNG pricing has already shifted from an oil-based pricing
972:
The JCC price index was established in the early 1950s to reflect the market fundamentals of the time. However, as these have shifted over time, the JCC has failed to keep up to date with these changes. After the impacts of the Fukushima Disaster, JCC reached an all-time high of US$ 114.75/bbl in

All 50 reactors were recorded as offline by 2012. One fifth of Japan's energy generating capacity was lost as a result. The loss of domestic energy sources created immense pressure on the Japanese economy as demand for LNG imports rose substantially. In the initial years and immediately after the

The first oil crisis resulted in recession, inflation and a trade deficit in Japan as all purchasing power was removed from Japan and given to the Arab oil producing nations. In regard to the JCC, the ban on supply heavily increased import prices. Crude oil import prices rose by 300% globally. In

LNG contract pricing has been based on the JCC index since the 1970s. LNG was initially introduced in Japan as an energy substitute to reduce the country's high dependence on oil. In turn, this guaranteed that gas could remain competitive with oil by having similar pricing. The JCC is used as the

In Japan, crude oil imports dropped by 25% in 2020, with only 2.28 million barrels per day imported in May 2020. This figure is the lowest it has been in 53 years. This is a direct result of the abrupt freeze of production and supply amid the pandemic. Price of the JCC during the pandemic can be

The period of 2008-2009 saw a decline in both GDP growth rate and oil consumption growth rate in Japan. JCC spiked in 2008 at US$ 100.98/bbl before dramatically declining in 2009 to $ 61.29. This aligns with the economic concepts of recession. In times of recession, demand dramatically reduces,
146:, Japan's rapid industrialisation made them one of the largest energy consumers. However, Japan's limited domestic resources of fuel means the country relies heavily on imports. In the 1950s, the Japan Crude Cocktail was formulated to create a pricing index of customs-cleared crude oil imports. 980:
In addition to the cheaper prices that a gas-based index would offer, the shift would also remove the current time lag between crude oil and LNG prices. The LNG pricing formula in Japan is . (See JCC formula subheading).  JCC prices take on average 5 months to be reflected in LNG contract

In the recent years leading to the GFC, China's crude oil imports exponentially increased. With greater economic resources, China began to dominate the consumption of crude oil, reducing crude oil supply available and thus consumption for other nations. From 2005 to 2007, Japan's crude oil

The JCC has had continuous price fluctuations over its history, whilst still steadily increasing. From the raw data and graph, the two major spikes in prices can be seen in 2008 and 2011–12. A comparatively dramatic price low can be observed in 2016.
99:. The official name of the JCC is the Japan Customs-cleared Crude Oil Price. The valuation of the JCC closely reflects the market state of supply and demand. Clear fluctuations in JCC pricing can be linked to distinct events such as the 2007-08 1722: 196:(LNG) contracts are legal agreements for the sale and purchase of LNG between sellers and buyers LNG is an energy commodity, just like crude oil, allowing for a price relationship between the two. 3027: 3084: 3144: 1618: 825:
disaster, LNG imports accounted for 40% of Japan's power. The sudden steep incline in demand rapidly drove prices. From 2010 to 2012, JCC rose from US$ 79.43/bbl to US$ 114.75/bbl.
