Gas prices in Europe rose by 20%.
Putin said that Russia would soon switch to paying for gas supplies to unfriendly countries in rubles. At the same time, he gave relevant instructions to the Central Bank, the government and the director of Gazprom on operations and contracts with Europe. As a result, gas prices in Europe rose immediately and the ruble strengthened. This is evidenced by the results of the auction.
According to Putin, the stock market price of gas in Europe rose by almost 20%. So far, the local maximum is 1350.7 dollars, which is 20.3% higher than the estimated price on Tuesday – 1123.1 dollars. In general, the cost increases by 15-20% and exceeds $ 1,300 per thousand ubometers.
In addition, the ruble strengthened from 103.6 to 94.9 per dollar in one minute. Now the USD-RUB pair is down 2.2% to 101.27, a correction.
