Losses on Bank of China crude oil investment product could hit $1.3 billion: report

More than 60,000 individual investors involved in the scheme have lost deposits worth as much as 4.2 billion yuan, it said. A third of the total had invested more than 50,000 yuan each.

The Bank of China’s crude oil “bao” is sold to individual customers and is linked to domestic and foreign crude oil futures contracts, including West Texas Intermediate and Brent. The Bank of China last week settle trades after WTI futures prices fell below $0 for the first time, ending at minus $37.63 per barrel as traders paid to get rid of their oil.

The bank held between 24,000 and 25,000 long positions, with each position the equivalent of 1,000 barrels, leading to an estimated loss of 5.8 billion yuan, Caixin said. The bank said last Friday that it was “deeply disturbed” by the losses incurred by its investors, and blamed volatility in the global oil market brought about by the global coronavirus pandemic.
