Coronavirus Continues To Lead Oil Prices

The coronavirus continues to impact international markets, and of course international oil prices. Patrick DeHaan with Gasbuddy.com said oil prices dropped $3 week-over-week, just because of fears of where the virus will go next.

“A fluid situation with the coronavirus last week, like I said, there was optimism that the spread was slowing, and then the weekend hit, and everything unraveled. So, a lot of volatility on the price of oil right now due to developments with COVID 19.”

DeHaan said some of the uncertainty is not only what the coronavirus has done, but what it could do in the coming months. What impact is lower oil prices having on your neighborhood diesel prices?
