Ukraine and Russia have failed to reach an agreement in their latest gas talk negotiations. The EU is brokering the deal to avoid a cutoff of its supplies, as it relies heavily on the gas piped in through Ukraine. Although Ukraine transferred $786M last week to Russian state gas exporter Gazprom (OTCPK:OGZPY), the two still have not come to an agreement regarding past and future supply prices.

The International Energy Agency has forecasted China's natural gas demand to nearly double by 2019, offsetting slower growth in Europe and around the world.

The demand growth for the gas is driven by the Asia-Pacific region - especially China, while supply growth is dominated by private-sector operators in Australia and North America.

The German think tank ZEW has outlined its growing concern of dangerous bubbles after the European Central Bank's actions this past week.

To overcome the crisis, Fuest proposes action from governments in Europe, and not to leave structural reforms only up to the ECB.
