# Vayu heralds ‘normalisation’ of wholesale gas prices – The Irish Times

> Vayu Energy's October report says wholesale gas prices normalised after a September trough caused by supply overhang, rising about 30% month on month. Prices were still down 14% year on year, and analysts expect the oil rally and weaker sterling to continue supporting prices.
