El colapso refleja un exceso de petróleo de rápido crecimiento y la acumulación de existencias rápidamente en Cushing, Oklahoma, el centro de precios estadounidense.

El petróleo se desplomó por debajo de los 12 dólares por barril en Nueva York, a medida que los inventarios se disparan debido al desajuste de oferta y demanda creado por el coronavirus.

A las 7:28 horas de la Ciudad de México, el West Texas Intermediate (WTI) tiene una baja de 34.54 por ciento, a 11.96 dólares por barril. El Brent cae 5.59 por ciento, a 26.51 dólares por barril.

Más temprano, alrededor de las 7:00 horas, el WTI tuvo un descenso de más de 38 por ciento, con lo que el crudo registró su menor nivel desde 1999.

Si bien una parte importante de la recesión se debe a que el contrato de futuros de mayo expira el martes, el colapso refleja un exceso de petróleo de rápido crecimiento y la acumulación de existencias rápidamente en Cushing, Oklahoma, el centro de precios estadounidense.
