Shares of liquified natural gas (LNG) companies jumped Monday after the European Union agreed to purchase $750 billion of energy from the U.S.<\/p>\n

LNG exporters Cheniere<\/a> and Venture Global<\/a> were up about 3% and more than 4%, respectively. NextDecade<\/a> and New Fortress Energy<\/a>, which build LNG infrastructure, jumped more than 2% and about 3%.<\/p>\n

EU President Ursula von der Leyen said the purchases would help reduce the bloc’s dependence on Russia for natural gas.<\/p>\n

“Purchases of US energy products will diversify our sources of supply and contribute to Europe’s energy security,” Von der Leyen said in a statement<\/a> over the weekend. “We will replace Russian gas and oil with significant purchases of US LNG, oil and nuclear fuels.”<\/p>\n

The energy purchases are part of a broader trade deal<\/a> stuck between the EU and the U.S. over the weekend. The deal imposes 15% tariffs on EU exports to the U.S. In addition to the energy purchases, Brussels has agreed to invest $600 billion in the U.S. above current levels.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump said “energy is a very important component” of the deal during a meeting with von der Leyen on Sunday.<\/p>\n
