For the first time in a year and a half, the price of Russian gas on the border with Germany began to rise, the IMF said in a statement. In July, the price of Russian gas was $ 4.3 per million British thermal units (BTU). This means that the price of raw materials from Russia increased by 6.4 percent.
The situation on the gas market is currently quite confusing. The situation on the market is complicated by the fact that even on the Dutch TTF platform, prices denominated in euros declined in July. Analysts suggest that many factors influence the situation. However, what is happening in the oil and oil products market is key. And after a while we may see a slight increase, or stabilization.
According to experts, some customers may think that gas prices will stop falling and now is the best time to negotiate supplies. As Russians themselves note, prices and trading floors do not reflect the whole truth. In fact, only a small fraction of the gas exported by Russia is sold in the European Union. As Russian experts admit, gas in long-term contracts is cheaper than on the platform, which is also due to the delay that does not reflect all changes in the oil market, which will still not be cheap, at least until the end of the year.
Russian gas prices began to rise for the first time since the end of 2014
