International crude oil plummeted this week: The collapse of a Silicon Valley bank in the United States, coupled with the disappointing inflation report data from the United States, has raised concerns about financial risks in the market. In addition, the jitters of Credit Suisse have hit the financial market, putting pressure on risky assets such as stock markets and crude oil, and adding to the negative impact of a more than expected increase in U.S. crude oil inventories, which has subsequently dragged down oil demand and caused crude oil prices to plummet.
