Market Chatter: Russia to Sell Natural Gas to China at Lower Prices Than Europe

MT Newswires Live04-21

The Russian government expects to sell natural gas to China at prices 38% lower than those paid by Europe, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing two people familiar with governmental forecasts.

Russian gas prices for the Chinese market are seen to hit $258.80 per 1,000 cubic meters this year, more than one-third of the price offered to its remaining European buyers, the report said.

The gap could narrow in the next three years but will only be more than 27% in 2029, the report said.

The lower prices could explain why a pivot to China could not offset Russia's losses in its Western markets, Bloomberg said.

Most European markets severed with Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, the report said.
