Oil prices jumped on Tuesday, one day after dropping to the lowest level since 2002. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained 7.8{3c4481f38fc19dde56b7b1f4329b509c88239ba5565146922180ec5012de023f}, or $1.57, to trade at $21.66 per barrel, while international benchmark Brent crude rose 4.22{3c4481f38fc19dde56b7b1f4329b509c88239ba5565146922180ec5012de023f} to $23.72 per barrel. WTI is on track for its worst month ever after falling 55{3c4481f38fc19dde56b7b1f4329b509c88239ba5565146922180ec5012de023f}, as crude continues to get hit on both the demand and supply side. The coronavirus outbreak, which has halted travel and slowed business activity, has weighed on demand, while a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia means the market could soon be flooded with excess oil. The OPEC+ production cuts currently in place expire today, and Saudi Arabia is among the nations that has said it will ramp up production. Amid oil’s decline, on Monday U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call in which they agreed to have top officials from both countries discuss slumping prices, according to a report from Reuters. —Stevens
