U.S. crude oil futures experienced a significant decline of 8%. This drop marked the second consecutive day of falling prices, reaching the lowest point seen in four years. The decline coincided with the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. The plunge followed China’s announcement of a 34% retaliatory tariff on U.S. imports. This move escalated the ongoing global trade war. These statistics highlight the immediate impact of international trade policies on commodity prices.
