The next – October – futures (according to the index of the largest European hub TTF) opened trading at the threshold of $ 2,000 per thousand cubic meters. Quotes during the day fell to $1,904.5 (-4.8%) and grew to $2,114.5 (+5.7%). The latest futures contracts traded at $2,091.8 (+4.6%). The dynamics of quotations is based on the settlement price of the previous day – $ 2,000.2 per thousand cubic meters.

Gas prices continue to be under pressure due to the uncertainty with supplies from Russia. The latest explosive growth at the end of August was associated with Gazprom’s announcement that the Nord Stream gas pipeline was suspended for three days for scheduled maintenance. Quotes jumped above 3500 dollars per thousand cubic meters and updated historical records of the settlement price several times. In early September, Gazprom announced a complete shutdown of the line due to an oil leak detected at the only operating Trent 60 unit.

The downtime of Nord Stream deprives Europe of up to 33 million cubic meters of gas per day, or about 1 billion cubic meters per month. Such losses are superimposed on the previous reduction in supplies from Russia via Nord Stream and other routes by at least 8-9 billion cubic meters per month.

Already in August, the figure slightly exceeded $2,450 (+35.7%). And on August 26, the estimated price even reached a record $3,507 per thousand cubic meters.
