LONG CRUDE OIL WTI

The drop in oil prices is caused by excess supply and shrinking demand (due to covid19 causing demand for oil to drop since industry like transportation don’t need that much anymore).

Russia refused to cut production, in a bid to drown America's high-cost shale producers in a sea of cheap crude. Saudi Arabia responded by slashing prices and ramping up production and this is exactly the opposite of what was needed to balance the market.

Major oil companies including Chevron (CVX) and ExxonMobil (XOM) have been said to have announced cost cutting measures. Another company, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) slashed its dividend by 86%.
