“Nothing has changed fundamentally.
Due to the fact that consumption has increased, demand for gas has grown, and not only in Europe, but throughout the world, including in Asian countries, primarily in China.
Liquefied natural gas mainly goes there, and there was a certain deficit in the European market, as a result traders began to increase the price, and they have a great opportunity, because a lot of money was released during the crisis, which came to the exchanges, ”he said.
According to the analyst, prices are rising not only for gas, but also for other exchange commodities.
“Taking into account the fact that gas is still scarce in storage facilities in Europe, this also supports the appetite of traders to drive up the price, which they are doing,” concluded Pravosudov.
Earlier it became known that the price of gas in Europe at the exchange trading on Monday, December 13, rose above $ 1300 per 1,000 cubic meters.
