Oil plummets 31% in biggest drop since Gulf War as Saudi cuts spark all-out price war

tumbled 31% in a matter of seconds overnight on Sunday, their sharpest decline since the Gulf War in 1991. The losses are being fueled by sinking demand due to coronavirus concerns, which has in turn sparked a series of price cuts.

Saudi Arabia slashed its prices by the most in at least 20 years over the weekend. A price-cut free-for-all has broken out globally following the collapse of an OPEC+ alliance last week. Talks broke down after Russia refused to meet Saudi Arabia's request for output cuts, which would boost prices. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank more than 900 points, while S&P 500 futures were hit with a 4% drop at open on Monday. Goldman Sachs analysts have warned that the price of oil could tumble even further, to $20 a barrel.amid concerns that coronavirus will slash demand for fuel. Prices sank as much as 11% — the most since 2014.
