Strategy Analysis: covid-19 is the main factor that affects the economic impact of the current financial and monetary easing and support. The restart of economy in Europe and the United States has boosted market demand expectations, and crude oil rebounded strongly. However, the epidemic situation in the United States and other places continued, and there are worries about expansion. We should strengthen macro-control at home and adopt strong and loose policies to stabilize economic growth. At present, the demand continues to exceed expectations and the easing policy pushes up the expectation of spot price rise. The futures follow the logic of rising volatility caused by rising valuation and prevent short-term correction.
