According to him, it is difficult to calculate the price of gas and oil, since "the political component plays a big role."
“Now the G7 countries have actually agreed on a fixed price at which they will sell oil and gas.
This is one of the factors that influenced prices,” the economist explained.
He clarified that the price fluctuation "will last 3-5 days, then it may rise."
“It is important what the decision of the G7 will be and how Russia will react to it.
Plus, financial speculators work here.
It is quite difficult to make a forecast, but for the Russian economy the price of 2000 suits completely, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.
The price of gas in Europe has dropped below $2,000 per 1,000 cubic meters.
The United States, together with its allies, wants to impose a cap on the cost of Russian energy resources in order to reduce the income of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the US Treasury threatened with sanctions companies that would purchase Russian oil at a price higher than the limit set by Washington and its partners.
