Crude prices have dropped more than 50% since the highs of June last year, following weak Chinese demand and a global supply glut. Oil companies are already feeling the heat and it will be a challenge for them to maintain dividends in the current scenario.
What is more, the past week saw further deterioration in the market, and the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) plunged into the high 30s following the devaluation of the Chinese yuan. Monday, August 24 saw a global market sell-off and almost all major indexes declined.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
