Renta 4 analysts affirm that the energy crisis in Europe "continues to intensify", since Russia announced yesterday the indefinite cut of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which "increases the pressure" for the European Central Bank (ECB) to accelerate its rises in interest rates.

Experts stress that Russia's decision will affect countries most dependent on Russian gas, such as Germany, which may not be able to reach its 95% storage target by early November. "Even if those fill levels were reached, they would only cover two and a half months of consumption if there are no new flows," they add.

In addition, yesterday the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, which together form the group known as OPEC, agreed to reduce joint production by 100,000 barrels of oil per day during the month of October, which represents the first cut since 2020 and "end the period of progressive return to the market of the offer that was withdrawn to adapt it to the drop in demand caused by Covid-19," says Renta 4.
