Global prices of crude oil further nosedived on Monday after Russia and Saudi Arabia delayed a critical meet to discuss over implementing a cut in oil production in order to alleviate oversupply in global market. After the last OPEC meet, the two oil producing giants have aggravated their rifts by indulging in a blame game over the fault in crude crises. Hence, pushing the scheduled date of discussion to Thursday that is 9 April. With ongoing crude production, Brent crude further fell to $30.03 a barrel on 02:03 GMT, down by $1.29.

Moreover, West Tax Intermediate Crude settled at $26.68 a barrel, with a dip by $1.66. As per analysts, the present situation is critical enough with plummeting demand amid Coronavirus crises and crashing economies. If countries continued to flood the market with crude by overlooking their rifts, there will be no hope left for bouncing back and stabilizing the ground.
