DMO, DCO, and DSIO issued this advisory to remind DCMs, FCMs, and DCOs that they are expected to prepare for the possibility that certain contracts may continue to experience extreme market volatility, low liquidity and possibly negative pricing. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission advises the public to be on alert for frauds seeking to profit from recent market volatility related to COVID-19. Fraudsters commonly use major news events, such as the spread of COVID-19, to add credibility to their cons or manipulate emotions. You can better protect yourself by learning to recognize common mental biases that everyone has, as well as common fraud tactics—and by taking a few preventative steps. Reporting frauds you encounter can also help protect others during these challenging times. 1 The pandemic-related data are from the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT).
Another strand of literature is the relationship between investors’ flows and returns. On the issue of the impact of return on the flow of investors, namely investors’ feedback trading, the early research center on developed markets dominated by institutions, thus emphasize on exploring the trading of institutions. In most studies, the evidence of institutional positive feedback trading is reported in developed markets (Sias and Starks, 1997, Edelen and Warner, 2001, Griffin et al., 2003, Cai and Zheng, 2004). However, some research also shows no significant institutional feedback trading (Colwell et al., 2008). The second graph shows that the significant negative feedback trading of institutional investors in the pre-COVID-19 period becomes insignificant during the COVID-19.
Custom code that supports the findings of this study is available from the corresponding author upon request. Some unregistered gold and silver dealers are advising investors to use relaxed retirement plan distribution rules in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to buy precious metals. But customers should talk to qualified retirement, tax, or legal advisors first. These steps can help protect you from further theft, inform you about how to lodge a fraud complaint, and offer guidance to avoid fraud in the future.
The empirical results of this study show that the foreign investors play stabilization role during the market crisis. In other words, the openness of financial market helps to promote its healthy development. Therefore, after accumulating enough experience, the further opening measures, such as increasing the eligible stocks and relaxing the eligible investors, should be implemented. Besides, the results have important implications for the other emerging markets which are facing the financial liberalization. We suggest introducing foreign investors to promote the healthy development of these markets.
And the negative returns after foreigners’ selling and positive returns after institutional buying are much stronger during the crisis period. The main objective of this research is to analyze the interaction between the returns and the trading of institutional and foreign investors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The relationship between investors’ trading and returns has been the main undertaking in the microstructure literature. On the one hand, the trading trading coronavirus of investors, especially the foreigners and domestic institutional investors, has a strong impact on the returns due to their large volume, which has been named the price impact (Edelen and Warner, 2001, Richards, 2005, Ülkü and Weber, 2013). Meanwhile, these two types of traders are known as the sophisticated investors. The price impact may be permanent as a result of their potential information advantage (Froot and Ramadorai, 2001, Ülkü, 2015).
Many productive activities have been disrupted, first in Asia and then in Europe, North America and the rest of the world, and there have been widespread border closures. This has resulted in a steep rise in unemployment, especially in the United States, with a consequent reduction in demand for goods and services. Against this backdrop, global GDP in 2020 is expected to register its sharpest contraction since the Second World War. In this situation, the volume of global trade in goods fell by 17.7% in May 2020 compared with the same month in 2019 The drop in the first five months of the year was widespread, although it particularly affected exports from the United States, Japan, and the European Union. The economic contraction in China was smaller than the global average, as that country controlled the outbreak and reopened its economy relatively quickly. In a global context of increased production regionalization, regional integration must play a key role in the crisis-recovery strategies in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) entered into force on July 1, 2020. The USMCA, which substituted the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a mutually beneficial win for North American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses. The Agreement creates more balanced, reciprocal trade supporting high-paying jobs for Americans and grow the North American economy.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.
Azerbaijan’s large oil and gas reserves are a major contributor to its economy. On the demand side, in 2020 imports declined by 11.1%, compared with import growth of 3.5% in 2019. Azerbaijan’s economy as a whole reversed 2.5% growth in 2019 to contract by 4.3% in 2020, according to the data.
Trade is an engine of growth that creates jobs, reduces poverty and increases economic opportunity. The World Bank Group helps its client countries improve their access to developed country markets and enhance their participation in the world economy. An important distinction between our analysis and the existing empirical literature is that we consider both Covid-19 death cases and lockdown policies, while most existing research focuses on one or the other. While the Covid-19 death measure is an intuitive proxy for the impact of the pandemic, lockdowns (of various degrees of stringency) are implemented as a reaction to the pandemic, often exactly when the number of deaths is high or expected to rise soon. As a result, studying either variable in isolation can lead to misleading results.
