Despite the downward trend, in the coming months gas prices will remain high – at around $500-600 per thousand cubic meters, as the President of the Institute of Energy and Finance, economist Salikhov said. According to him, this is largely due to seasonal factors, but over time, prices should fall to the usual level of $300.

Gas prices on the European ICE stock exchange fell. During the trading on October 7, quotations fell below $1,000 per thousand cubic meters.
