Oil prices extended losses on Monday as worries about lower demand in China spread after the coronavirus outbreak. Brent was at $56.14 a barrel and WTI at $51.32, after both fell in January, with Brent losing nearly 12% that month.
Chinese airports closed and factory activity stalled, while the central bank injected liquidity to support the economy.
Lower Chinese demand and disrupted supply chains keep the outlook bearish for crude and diesel, with Chinese stimulus offering only a short-term floor. Lower energy prices weigh on biofuel and ethanol-linked feed costs.
