IEA: Europe will face the risk of "unprecedented" natural gas shortage

On October 3, the International Energy Agency released a quarterly report on the natural gas market, warning that Europe will face an "unprecedented" risk of natural gas shortage in this winter, and suggesting that gas consumption should be saved.

The report shows that, in order to ensure that the natural gas reserves are always sufficient before the end of the heating season, the gas demand of European Union member countries should be 9% to 13% lower than the average level in the past five years. Most of these changes have to be made by consumers, including lowering the heater by 1 ℃ and adjusting the boiler temperature, as well as the solar terms for industrial and public facilities.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the report predicts that if the above target of 9% to 13% is achieved, the natural gas storage capacity of EU countries will remain at the level of 25% to 30% when LNG imports are small; If there is no solar term, and if Russia completely stops supplying natural gas from November this year, the gas storage level may fall below 5%, and once encountering a cold current, the risk of complete interruption of natural gas supply will increase.

At the same time, as the main artery of European energy transport, Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline also has new news. On October 2 local time, the Danish Energy Agency said that the "Beixi - 1" natural gas pipeline had stopped leaking gas and the pressure was stable. However, the situation of the "Beixi - 2" natural gas pipeline is still not optimistic. On October 3 local time, the Swedish Coast Guard said that the leakage of the "Beixi - 2" natural gas pipeline had increased.

At 2:03 am, September 26, Central European Daylight Time, an underwater explosion occurred on the "Beixi - 2" natural gas pipeline in the waters near Bornholm Island, Denmark, and a leak point appeared. At 19:3 on the 26th, 17 hours later, the "Beixi - 1" natural gas pipeline exploded and two leakage points appeared. The two explosions had magnitudes of 2.3 and 2.1 on the Richter scale respectively. On September 29 local time, the Swedish Coast Guard reported that the fourth leakage point was found on the Beixi pipeline.

The explosion of Beixi natural gas pipeline further aggravated the energy crisis in Europe and aroused global concern. According to CCTV news, Douglas McGregor, a former senior adviser to the US Defense Secretary and retired colonel of the US military, said in an interview with the media recently that the real culprit of the attack on the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline may be the US or the UK.

Hurricane "Ian" has killed 85 people in the United States

According to the overseas online aid Reuters News Agency on the 3rd, Hurricane "Ian" has killed 85 people in the United States, and it is estimated that the post disaster reconstruction of the hardest hit Florida and North Carolina will cost tens of billions of dollars.

Among the states hit by hurricanes, Florida has the largest number of casualties, totaling 81. Among them, there were 42 people in Li County, and 39 people were reported dead in the other four counties nearby. Four people died in North Carolina.

As the flood recedes, the rescue team is further searching for areas isolated from the outside world due to the impact of the hurricane, and the death toll is expected to continue to rise. The National Hurricane Center of the United States predicted that there might be more heavy rainfall in West Virginia and parts of western Maryland, and "record floods" in central Florida.

Hurricane has brought catastrophic damage to the coastal areas of the United States. On the afternoon of the 2nd local time, more than 700000 enterprises and households in Florida alone were without electricity. Satellite images released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States show that beach huts and motels along the coast of Sunnybell Island, Florida, have been destroyed by the storm, and the roofs of many houses have been blown away.

According to the data of CoreLogic, insurance companies are ready to deal with claims of 28 billion to 47 billion dollars, which may be the worst storm in Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

Turkey's CPI rose by 83.45% year-on-year in September

The soaring speed of Turkish prices has left most countries in the world behind.

According to the data released by the Turkish Statistics Bureau on October 3 local time, the Turkish consumer price index (CPI) in September 2022 rose by 83.45% compared with the same period last year, hitting a new high in 24 years, and 3.08% month on month.

Data shows that the traffic price is still the category with the highest increase. Compared with the same period last year, the traffic price in Turkey increased by 117.66% in September; The growth of communication category was the smallest, with a year-on-year growth of 30.76%.

According to CCTV News, Turkey is currently one of the countries with the highest inflation rate in the world. Inflation has soared since the middle of last year. In September this year, Turkey also raised the prices of natural gas and electricity again, further intensifying inflationary pressure. The Turkish Central Bank forecasts the year-end inflation rate to be 60.4%.

Mainstream economics believes that in response to high inflation, the central bank should raise the benchmark interest rate, but Turkish President Erdogan believes that high interest rates lead to high inflation and low interest rates should be used to support investment and exports. Therefore, the central bank of Turkey cut the benchmark interest rate to 14% for four consecutive times last year, and lowered the benchmark interest rate to 12% for two consecutive times in August and September this year. It is worth noting that every reduction in interest rates has led to a sharp decline in the Turkish lira, which depreciated by more than 40% against the US dollar last year. On this basis, since the beginning of this year, the Turkish lira has continued to depreciate by more than 35%. On September 28 local time, Erdogan said that he hoped the central bank would reduce interest rates to single digits. According to the market forecast, the lira may further depreciate due to high inflation and loose monetary policy.
