Silence the alarm: oil will climb back up, this slip is temporary
Regarding Jennifer Gnana's report What are negative oil prices and how do they impact markets? (April 21): this is temporary and will be back to normal by Wednesday when May prices are applicable. West Texas is a group of private producers and not a bench mark like Brent which is holding above 25 for now. The issue is investors who have no buyers and have no means to store the oil they have.
