  • Oil prices are down 30% for the year as the new coronavirus, COVID-19, slashes global demand forecasts.
  • With previously agreed OPEC+ production cuts expiring at the end of March, Saudi Arabia and Russia can theoretically pump as much crude as they want.
  • International and U.S. oil benchmarks plummeted to multiyear lows on Friday, with Brent crude closing at $45.27, down more than 9%, and West Texas Intermediate down more than 10%.
