Commodity Report: Crude Oil Price Forecast – March 2020 [Video]

Phil Carr The Gold & Silver Club

U.S. crude prices settled 2% lower on Wednesday as government data showed the coronavirus pandemic started undercutting U.S. fuel demand last week.

Crude inventories rose by 1.6 million barrels in the most recent week. Inventories, which have risen for nine straight weeks, are expected to keep growing as fuel demand declines and refineries pare back activity.

Oil prices have fallen by more than 45% this month after OPEC+, comprising the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producers, including Russia, failed to agree on extending output cuts.
