Oil prices plunged about $10 a barrel on November 26, 2021, their largest one-day drop since April 2020. The sell-off followed the WHO's designation of the new Omicron variant as a concern and travel restrictions in several countries.
Fears that the variant could curb travel and fuel demand, combined with a looming supply surplus, pressured crude prices sharply lower.
