So, the price of the October futures on the TTF hub in the Netherlands at some moments hit the ceiling of $1,031.32 per 1,000 cubic meters.
The overall growth in gas price has already topped 11% today.
European countries started to take emergency measures to limit gas and electricity tariffs amid growing gas prices.
