It is reported that real-time statistics from Hopkins University show that so far, nearly 2.5 million cases of new crown pneumonia have been confirmed worldwide.

For the first time in the history of crude oil futures in New York, oil stocks and the currencies of oil exporters such as the Canadian dollar fell sharply as energy companies ran out of storage space and intensified the market sell-off. As oil prices plummeted, the US bond market sent deflationary risk signals. The US 10-year break-even rate, which measures the average annual inflation over the next decade, fell below 1 per cent for the first time in more than two weeks.

Russia's energy ministry has asked domestic oil producers to cut production by about 20% from their average daily production in February, enabling the Russian government to deliver on its commitments under a global agreement.

The British prime minister resisted pressure to loosen the blockade prematurely, fearing a second peak, which the prime minister's spokesman said would extend the risks to the British economy. The German chancellor also said Germany should not relax the blockade too quickly.

In China, the quotation of LPR in April was "double decline", the one-year variety was 3.85%, the last time was 4.05%, the more than 5-year variety was 4.65%, the last time was 4.75%. [Lido]
