WTI Crude Oil Prices Slightly Up Following Historical Declines
Today in the early European session, []WTI]] crude oil prices turned positive after the historical drop below $0 for the first time since futures trading started in 1982 mainly due to the demand destruction caused by coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, the travel restrictions and lockdowns to control the outbreak of the coronavirus exerted significant downside pressure on crude oil prices. As a result, the demand for crude oil decreased by almost 30% all over the world.
It should be noted that the US President Donald Trump said yesterday after historical drops in crude oil prices that his administration was thinking about ending Saudi crude oil imports in order to help the US drilling industry.
