IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS ON CRUDE OIL PRICE

               IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS ON CRUDE OIL PRICE
Oil price is down because of the global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Brent crude ($36.12/ barrel) and WTI ($32.98/barrel) are down 20%. COVID-19 is creating a global economic slowdown that is creating a disequilibrium between supply and demand. Dynamic of this price fall originate from a conflict of production cut between OPEC and Saudi Arabia. We should not be a surprise, if the price of crude oil continues to go down in the near future. Slowdown of economic activities in China could be at the origin of more price fall in the near future. China is now the world biggest importer of crude oil and more than 50% of the world consumption of crude oil is in Asia. This reality could be an important factor of de-dollarization of the trade of crude oil, if the Chinese make a deal with the Saudi. De-dollarization of trade of crude oil mean the end of the suprema tie of the US dollar. In United States of America, low price of crude oil could create default on loans in the shale oil industry.

  2. My Testimony Hello everyone. Am here to testify how I got my loan from Mr. Benjamin after I applied several times from various loan lenders who promised to help but they never gave me the loan. Until a friend of mine introduced me to Mr.Benjamin Lee promised to help me and indeed he did as he promised without any form of delay.I never thought there are still reliable loan lenders until I met Mr. Benjamin Lee, who indeed helped with the loan and changed my belief. I don't know if you are in any way in need of a genuine and urgent loan, Be free to contact Mr. Benjamin via WhatsApp +1-989-394-3740 and  his email: 247officedept@gmail.com thank you.
