何を主因と呼ぶかは微妙なところか。多少評価に関わる点があるものの、コロナウィルス・パンデミックで極端に需要が減ってしまったことは、やはり格段に巨大なインパクトがあるだろう。
BBC Coronavirus: Oil price collapses to lowest level for 18 years 30 Mar 2020
月曜(今日か)brent crudeが$22.58をつけ、これは2002年11月以来の水準であると。WTIも$20。ここ二ヶ月、企業群が生産を落としたことは決定的だろう。
「The price of oil has sunk to levels not seen since 2002 as demand for crude collapses amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Brent crude fell to $22.58 a barrel at one point on Monday, its lowest level since November 2002.
Meanwhile the price of US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell below $20 a barrel and close to an 18-year low.
Oil prices have fallen by more than half during the past month as companies cut back or close production.」
もちろん、サウジアラビアとロシアが原油安競争をしているのも一因とはいえ。主因と駆動因とにわけたとき、どうだろう、コロナウィルスと価格競争と、どちらをどう理解するだろう。
「In addition to the drop in demand, a price war broke out earlier this month between Saudi Arabia and Russia.」
「However, an analyst said a collapse in demand from the measures taken to counter the spread of coronavirus was now the main factor.」
