The US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was down $2.57, or 20%, at $10.21 a barrel. The contract fell by 25% on Monday. Economists stated part of the WTI drop was due to retail investment vehicles like exchange-traded funds selling out of the front-month June contract and buying into months later to avert massive losses like last week, when WTI fell below zero.

Traders seem to keep their eyes on the first GDP releases. The US and Eurozone economy declined in the first three months of the year, but the question is by how much. The Eurozone data calendar is light, and the currency pair may take hints from the broader market sentiment.

On Tuesday, crude oil prices fell for the second day in a series as concerns about diminishing global capacity to save crude and concerns that demand may be sluggish even after economies ease restrictions to battle the coronavirus pandemic.
