On Monday, WTI Crude prices plunged over 3.6 percent to close at $51.4 per barrel as the rapidly spreading Coronavirus dented the demand prospects for Crude. Markets assessed that the lethal virus breakout could lead to a far greater economic damage than initially thought which led to a significant downfall in oil prices The OPEC+ stated that they would further trim their output to counter the slumping demand due to the coronavirus outbreak in the major Crude consumer, China.
