In Europe, natural gas fell to a minimum in 15 years

115

Due to global problems in the economy, which caused a significant decrease in demand for natural gas in Europe, there was a sharp reduction in the cost of LNG for European consumers. As a result, its price in spot trading in the Netherlands on TTF, which is considered the largest hub in Europe, fell below $ 100 per thousand cubic meters.

Last week, March 17, natural gas cost $ 99 per thousand cubic meters. Today it already amounted to 93,5 dollars.



Thus, the gas price has reached a minimum over the past 15 years.

Over the past year, the share of gas from the Russian company Gazprom in the European market decreased by 2,5 percent, reaching 42,5%. Last year, the company was unable to deliver the planned 200 billion cubic meters to Europe and significantly reduced prices. Gazprom's January export earnings fell almost doubled to $ 3 billion.

A negative factor was the need to renegotiate contracts with a number of countries, as their terms expired. For example, under Gazprom’s new agreement with Bulgaria, gas prices have dropped by 40 percent.

Today, not only a decrease in gas prices was noted, but also a drop in oil prices. At today's auction, the price of Brent crude oil amounted to $ 25 per barrel.

      the price of gas is tied to the price of oil - this was to be expected. Gazprom: now oil peg accounts for 30% of all gas supplies to Europe. It turned out a double blow to the budget of Russia. In addition, the main problem - the global supply of oil and gas significantly exceeds demand.

              Sarkism (Greek: σαρκασμός, from σαρκάζω, literally “tearing the flesh”) is a type of satirical denunciation, stinging mockery [1], the highest degree of irony, based not only on the increased contrast of the implied and expressed, but also on the immediate intentional exposure of the implied. Statements and works of art made with sarcasm affirm one thing, but make it clear that they mean the opposite - for example, with the help of a mocking hyperbole or intonation.

        It is interesting to observe that each point of view on this topic has enough adherents. Some say, yes, all this is bullshit, we will break through, in the long term, victory will be ours, we must wait and be patient. Others, everyone, arrived, the ultimate. The truth is somewhere near? The owners of gas stations are already hinting that the price tag of fuel will increase, further the fuel that has risen in price will pull products and services. Recently they fought with Belarus on the price of oil, I see they have already agreed, but how else, how much it has sagged. It turns out for the layman it will be like in "Wedding in Malinovka", the Reds will come to rob, the Whites will come, they also rob. Where can the peasant get away ..

        That's right. But unfortunately only in Europe.
        In Russia, gas demand is much higher than supply. Therefore, probably the price is only growing here.

      I wish Miller would sign a new contract with me so that I would also pay 40 percent less ... But no, the gas in the receipt did not fall in price for some reason ...

        Firstly, I didn’t pay, but I received it, if I later converted it to something more stable or according to purchasing power.
        Secondly, your "wish" about 40% may be completely overfulfilled (since the ruble has already fallen in price by almost 30% since the beginning of this year) and pretty soon, well, until April 22, they will probably try to keep the rate. hi
