While the outlook for global crude oil remains subdued, the world’s most important commodity is quickly losing its value, as chronic oversupply overwhelms the crude tanks, pipelines and super-tankers across locations. For the first time in history, the US oil futures nosedived to negative territory for May delivery, with the benchmark Brent plunging to a two-decades low, below USD20 per barrel.
Magnifying the spiralling oil price, the increasing lockdowns globally in countering COVID-19 further crush the demand for oil.
What are the key forces driving the crude oil market, and what are the implications of the oil price on various aspects of the global and Malaysian economy and the longer-term prospects for the oil and gas industry.
