Dow futures dropped around 1,000 points on Sunday as a decision by Saudi oil executives to cut prices looked ready to ignite a global price war on crude oil [in what was reportedly the sharpest decline of that resource since 1991].

CNBC reported Sunday evening that futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average had dropped nearly 1,100 points, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 also reportedly looked ready to open with losses on Monday.

Saudi Arabia's price cut looked to be aimed at retaliating at Russian officials, who on Friday declined to join the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries in agreeing to a worldwide reduction in oil production in response to the coronavirus outbreak, which has slowed the global demand for oil.
