Crude oil prices have partially bounced back on Tuesday morning, after yesterday’s stunning losses from the Saudi Arabia/Russia price war. Russia indicated that talks with Saudi Arabia regarding oil production cuts may still be possible. However, Saudi Arabia said it’s prepared to boost its oil production from the current 9.7 million barrels per day to 12.3 million. Meanwhile, United States President Donald Trump said his administration could provide an economic stimulus package to counter the ill effects of the coronavirus on the U.S. economy.
