March 23, 2020: Oil prices fell heavily at the open in Asia on Monday after a trillion-dollar Senate proposal to help the coronavirus-hit American economy was defeated and death tolls soared across Europe and the US.

US benchmark West Texas Intermediate was down 2.5 percent at $22 a barrel while Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell 4.9 percent to $25 a barrel.
