Not related, it is May contract that expiring today. Whoever bought the May contract at 0 and expired, need to do the settlement, means they need to take up the delivery of crude oil. And those crude oil will be sent to your house....
Why it plunged to 0? Because speculator (likely not those refiners or petrochem companies that can take up delivery and store) in the market need get rid the futures contract to avoid taking the delivery. Market little buyer, as everyone storage is full, then just like force selling in the stock market, threw previous bought contract until zero or once become negative...
June contract is still above USD20+.
Once May contract expired today, you will see the published spot price for WTI will be based on June contract price, which is now USD20
