The EIA reports that crude oil prices fell sharply in early 2020 amid COVID-19 economic contraction and a surge in supply after OPEC and partner production cuts were suspended.

Setelah 565 peristiwa makro bearish sebelumnya, Minyak Mentah (WTI) bergerak median -1,4% selama 5 sesi (41% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -5,9% sampai +3,0%), dan -0,5% selama 20 sesi.
