Oil fell by the most since 1991 on Monday after Saudi Arabia started a price war with Russia by slashing its selling prices and pledging to unleash its pent-up supply onto a market reeling from falling demand because of the coronavirus outbreak.

That was the biggest percentage drop since Jan. 17, 1991, at the start of the first Gulf War.
