The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures contract for delivery in May fell as much as 30 per cent to hit a low of $11.50 a barrel, the lowest since March 1998.

Oil held in storage in America, especially at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for the WTI light crude contract, is rising as refiners reduce activity as a result of the drop in oil usage due to coronavirus lockdowns.
