What about commodities then, like oil?

It was not too long ago that the price for a barrel of oil was negative $40.

Oil is a regular good that is priced according to supply and demand expectations.

Goods can have negative prices due sharp drops in demand (a lot of X was produced, but no one wants to buy x and you are paying to store it).
