The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the benchmark for US oil, fell as low as minus $37.63 a barrel.
美国原油期货的基准油---西得克萨斯中间基原油 That's the lowest level since NYMEX opened oil futures trading in 1983.
这是自1983年纽约商品交易所开始石油期货交易以来的最低水平。
"This is off-the-charts wacky," said Stewart Glickman, an energy equity analyst at CFRA Research. "The demand shock was so massive that it's overwhelmed anything that people could have expected."
CFRA Research的能源资产分析师斯图尔特•格利克曼说:“这简直是跌破纪录了。需求冲击如此之大,远超人们的预期。”
off the charts:打破旧记录
The severe drop on Monday was driven in part by a technicality of the global oil market. Oil is traded on its future price and May futures contracts are due to expire on Tuesday. Traders were keen to offload those holdings to avoid having to take delivery of the oil and incur storage costs.
本周一 June prices for WTI were also down, but trading at above $20 per barrel. Meanwhile, Brent Crude - the benchmark used by Europe and the rest of the world, was also weaker, down 8.9% at less than $26 a barrel.
西得克萨斯中间基原油6月份的期货价格也有所下降,但仍维持在每桶20美元以上。与此同时,欧洲和世界其他地区使用的基准油布伦特原油期货价格也在走弱,下跌8.9%,至每桶不到26美元。
