Oil drops to 18-year low as market faces lowest demand

Deccan Chronicle  

SINGAPORE: Oil languished at multi-year lows Thursday, with WTI crude close to its weakest level since 2002, as dire warnings about a virus-triggered demand shock overshadowed massive output cuts. US benchmark West Texas Intermediate rose nearly three percent to change hands at $20.44 per barrel after falling below $20 on Wednesday -- its lowest price in 18 years. Prices have crashed as the coronavirus pandemic saps global demand, with the situation compounded by a supply glut resulting from a price war between OPEC cartel kingpin Saudi Arabia and non-OPEC rival Russia. A compromise hammered out at the weekend by Riyadh, Moscow and other crude producers to slash output by around 10 million barrels per day briefly boosted prices but the rally soon fizzled out.
