) fell from very high rates.
So high that even after this decline, it remains extremely high.
I would even say inadequately high for the normal functioning of the market and consumers, ”he said.
Mitrahovic clarified that this could have happened due to weather conditions.
“Look at the temperature in London for the new year - + 15˚С.
It is not very cold in other European countries either, ”the economist emphasized.
Another reason Mitrahovich called the situation in the speculative market.
“It changes quickly, depending on what news comes in.
News comes in about American LNG and the price goes down.
This does not mean that everything is over, it still remains very high.
It is quite possible that next year the prices will be high, ”the interlocutor of RT concluded.
According to the ICE exchange, the price of gas in Europe on the evening of December 30 for the first time since December 6 fell below $ 1000 per 1,000 cubic meters.
