Oil prices crashed into -ve! What's the whole thing behind this?

Hello guys! Welcome to CarsReboot! Today the topic of discussion is the 'Declining oil prices'. Even though the topic shouldn't be discussed in a blog which primarily talks completely about cars, I decided to post it on behalf of increasing questions in this particular topic on my Quora profile. 

Ok! Enough of intro and now into the topic.
 Some days back itself the news had came that crude oil companies are facing the steep decline in the demand for oil and also many traders have reduced importing of oil to their countries. The Price of per gallon oil was at 60$ before and at the start it fell into 30$, later it went down to 26.64$ and continued to decrease and now it even went to -ve.


Why this condition occurred? 
As Everyone knows the fact that every country throughout the world is facing the COVID-19 very badly and also due to the continuous lockdowns happening in every country, the oil which was in reserves in every country itself has become bottle-neck and was unsold. This Condition occurred due to the companies, traders who associated with the process of oil importing has already bought so much of oil thinking that in future there might be increase in oil prices and keeping this thought those traders and companies(refineries) have ordered the crude oil barrels for future too.

Now, the major players who have seen high losses are the refineries, traders and also the investors who invested in this category. People who took long positions means who ordered the barrels have to rollover the date from 2020 may to june and it might continue until they sell at least half the current oil reserves. India is also the facing the same situation and is continuing but what's ironic is that even though the crude oil companies are facing the high decline in demand throughout, the prices of diesel and petrol in India continue to stand at 62.29Rs/lit and 69.59/lit. Many market analysts who work in these type of industries are stating that these kind of situations occur very rarely but if they occur, then the revival of that industries will take so much time to work in full house.

Now, due to the out break of COVID-19 virus from China, every country has lost economy so brutal and India'a condition is even worse. As of now we have lost around 7% of our GDP which is at 15Lakh crores while the overall GDP our our country stands at 200Lakhs of crores. So, for every day we have lost around some 3,800 Crores and the Central govt is trying all their possible tricks and tweaks to revive it but not working it seems due to the effect of virus in many areas of India.
The Information which I have provided above is the one which I have cime across and this is only till today i.e,   22 April 2020 and the condition could go worse if this condition continues.

Thank you for reading this post and see you in the next one.

Hyundai India has launched the all-new sporty looking compact sedan 'Aura' which replaces the Xcent in Hyundai's India line-up and also the details of the car are below. Engines: This Time they have launched the car with bs-6 compliant engines both in petrol and also diesel and now they have the power and torque figures more or less the same as it's engines are even more refined now. So, the engines offered are 1.2lit petrol and 1.2lit diesel. There will be 2 Petrol and 1 Diesel among which the petrol is 1.2 that churns out 83Ps and a 1.0lit engine that churns out 99P of power and the diesel produces 89Ps of power. The Gearbox options are as follows: 1.2Petrol gets a manual/amt while the 1.0 lit gets only a manual one and the diesel gets both manual/amt. So, options are decent to look as well considering the price range it will be in but a CVT would be great like we have seen in the Amaze. Design: Coming to the Design, recently they have released the sket...

Renault Duster! It had its chance.

Welcome to CarsReboot!  There are many people who love Duster for its proportions, ride quality and also the sense of space it has inside it but now it has lost its charm to some extent with its other rivals and it fell into the category of only petrol with no AWD but it still has its chance to become a bigger player if Renault could do some key changes in it. 1. Engine: The 1.5lit was a very good one but now the company has shut it due to the upcoming BS6 regulations and it now replaces both the 1.5lit Diesel and petrol with a 1.3lit petrol engine which is BS6 compliant and the power figures have changed a bit. If they really needed some strong sales then introducing a 1.5lit BS6 compliant diesel and petrol engines with auto gearboxes in both fuel options would have made it a strong seller for Renault. 2. Interiors: Many might have felt this but I intended to stress about this particular one because the interiors in Duster were not that appealing and the reason is...
