新华财经芝加哥4月23日电（记者徐静）芝加哥商品交易所15日重新编程为负油价做准备，20日原油价格跌至负值。记者23日就此事咨询芝加哥商品交易所。
芝加哥商品交易所通联部主任马休·斯特劳德当日给记者发来芝加哥商品交易所一份声明。声明如下：
芝加哥商品交易所期货市场均按照设计运作。市场期货价格反映了原油现货市场前所未有受全球冠状病毒影响的基本面，包括原油需求下降、全球供应过剩、美国高水平存储利用率等。4月初在预先通知监管机构和市场后，芝加哥商品交易所4月20日容纳了西德州中级原油（WTI）负期货价格，如此客户可以在价格剧烈波动时管理风险，同时确保期货和现货价格的趋同。

CME Group markets worked as designed. Our futures prices reflect fundamentals in the physical crude oil market driven by the unprecedented global impacts of the coronavirus, including decreased demand for crude, global oversupply, and high levels of U.S. storage utilization.After advance notice to our regulator and the marketplace in early April, CME Group accommodated negative futures prices on WTI on April 20 so that clients could manage their risk amid dramatic price moves, while also ensuring the convergence of futures and cash prices.
