发帖数: 21374 | 1 In the hours after the invasion of Ukraine, there were calls for Europe to
punish Russia by ending energy purchases. But the immediate response of
European energy companies was to buy more natural gas, much of it
transported through Ukraine’s pipeline network.
For a second day, utilities are ordering more fuel under long-term contracts
with Gazprom PJSC because the deals are priced in a way that Russian
imports became cheaper than spot gas traded at European hubs.
Current gas prices are “well above the likely sales price for many Gazprom
import contracts and so driving purchases higher,” Stefan Ulrich, a gas
analyst with BloombergNEF, said after the record rally on Thursday. “There
may also be a strategic component as buyers seek to buy now given a
potential for disruption in flows or further price increases.”
