Quotation of August futures jumped in the TTF hub by more than 8% to the level of €237.8 per MWh, or $2,541 per thousand cubic meters.

The price increases took place against the background of the statement from the Russian monopolist Gazprom that, according to their conservative estimates, gas prices in the EU will exceed $4,000 per thousand cubic meters in winter.
