Exchange prices for gas in Europe are falling due to reduced consumption and abnormally warm weather in the region

The exchange price of gas in Europe fell below $700 per 1,000 cubic meters. m, according to the ICE exchange.
The cost of February futures on the TTF hub in the Netherlands fell by more than 2.3% at the beginning of trading, reaching €63.5 per 1 MWh, or up to $696.4 per 1 thousand cubic meters m, taking into account the current exchange rate. The price of gas in Europe fell below $700 per 1,000 cubic meters. m for the first time since September 2021.
By 12:00 Moscow time, the cost of European gas adjusted to $66.35 per 1 MWh, or $727 per 1,000 cubic meters. m at the current exchange rate.
Natural gas prices in Europe fall as a period of unusually warm weather reduced demand for heating and eased fears of a prolonged supply crunch, Bloomberg reported. Warm weather has spread throughout the region, with temperatures breaking monthly records in several places in early January. Wind generation has also increased, further reducing the need for gas. nine0003
Mild weather is likely to continue in Europe through the end of the month, according to Maxar Technologies weather forecast.
Temperatures will hover between 2 and 5 degrees above normal in France and Germany through Jan. 17, leaving heating demand below a decade’s average, the agency said.
www.adv.rbc.ru
nine0002 Despite the decline in recent weeks, the cost of gas futures in Europe still remains above the levels observed before the pandemic. In January 2020, exchange prices for gas were about 11–12 per 1 MWh ($130–140 per 1,000 cubic meters).
Analysts at Cornwall Insight have predicted high gas prices in Europe until 2030. According to experts, the consequences of the current gas crisis will affect prices not only for the next two or three years, but much longer. According to the forecasts of the analytical company, high gas prices in Europe after the refusal of pipeline supplies from Russia will remain at least until the end of this decade, despite all efforts to compensate for the shortage of gas from other sources, including through the supply of liquefied gas by tankers.
