Brussels-Sana
Gas prices in Europe rose today to a new historical level, after they exceeded the barrier of $1600 per thousand cubic meters.
According to the Russia Today website, the prices of gas futures contracts for the month of November rose to the level of 1607.2 dollars per thousand cubic meters.
Yesterday, gas prices hit a record price of $1,450 per thousand cubic metres.
Experts attribute this record high to low gas stocks in Europe and the approaching winter season.
