European Gas Falls to Lowest Since Russian Invasion of Ukraine
(Bloomberg) — European natural gas extended its decline to the lowest level since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine, amid warmer weather and signs from the Kremlin that payment for the fuel in rubles isn’t expected until next month.Most Read from Bloomberg
Benchmark Dutch gas futures fell as much as 12% to 84 euros per megawatt hour — the lowest level since Feb. 23, the day prior to the Russian invasion — before paring some of those losses. The front-month contract settled 9.2% lower on April 14, ahead of the Easter holidays.
The market has been focused on shipments from Russia, its largest supplier, particularly following President Vladimir Putin’s demand last month that “unfriendly” buyers pay for gas in rubles. The European Union’s lawyers have drafted a preliminary finding that the payment mechanism would violate the bloc’s sanctions.
