Abstract

On April 20, 2020, eastern time, WTI crude futures fell into negative territory. The incident caused huge losses to Chinese investors due to improper practices by the Bank of China. Studying the incident of crude oil treasure’s wearing helps China’s financial industry avoid similar events in the future. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the cause of the incident. Among them, the problem of product design makes most investors crazy to buy crude oil treasure products. In addition, investors’ lack of investment knowledge and blindly following the trend are the reasons for the occurrence of this event. Additionally, through the analysis of systemic and non-systemic risks before and after the event, we find that China’s financial market still has some flaws. Thus, we provide suggestions for relevant departments, products, and investors.
