Abstract

After the 2020 pandemic, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) changed its trading rules, allowing the negative oil price mechanism in the futures market. That same month, Bank of China's (BOC) "Crude Oil Bao" investment product brought huge losses to investors, exposing the product's risk management flaws. The purpose of this report is to conduct a comprehensive study of the factors that led to the losses suffered by Chinese investors in international crude oil product trading. It delves into the operational dynamics of these financial industry institutions, as well as the perspectives of Chinese banks and retail investors affected by the incident. Finally, recommendations are made to strengthen risk management measures in response to events such as the Crude Oil Treasure, with the aim of helping commercial banks to improve their product design methodologies. The article provides valuable insights into understanding financial product failures and offers guidance on mitigating risk.
