With businesses, workplaces, and schools suspending or drastically cutting back on operations all over the U.S., many Americans are losing jobs, work hours, and pay. The effects are most severe in the jobs that rely on face-to-face contact and large gatherings, especially in the leisure and hospitality service sectors—places like restaurants and bars, coffee shops, movie theatres, gyms, concert halls, and museums—where when establishments are closed to the public, workers do not work and are not paid. The closing of schools and workplaces also makes it difficult for working parents of young children to be able to continue to work from home. 

In this webinar we will discuss the latest developments in the health and economic crisis and the fiscal policy responses that the Trump Administration and Congress are discussing and developing. Our expert panel will discuss what kinds of fiscal policy responses they see as most effective in reducing the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic on those workers and industries most adversely affected as well as the economy as a whole.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has already had a large impact on the global oil market, reducing oil demand in China and continuing to reduce global oil demand through lower economic growth. U.S. West Texas Intermediate oil prices were $63 per barrel at the beginning of January 2020 and have already fallen rapidly as oil producers initiated a price war to defend market share at risk. 

This webinar will address the possible scenarios of coronavirus diffusion and recovery, and the impact they would have on oil markets. What will be the impact on global oil demand, and how will U.S. and OPEC oil producers react? The webinar will also address how the coronavirus could impact long-term trends in oil demand, moving the world closer to peak oil demand.  REGISTER HERE
