Crude oil is a raw material of fuel oil. If the price of crude oil rises or falls, the futures prices of fuel oil and crude oil will rise or fall. In this case, the trends of crude oil futures and fuel oil are basically synchronized.

However, the trend of crude oil futures is also affected by the changes in its market long and short forces. When multiple forces are greater than short forces, crude oil futures will rise; when short forces are greater than multiple forces, crude oil futures will fall, which will lead to inconsistency between fuel oil and crude oil futures, that is, fuel oil will fall and crude oil futures will rise under the action of long and short forces, or fuel oil will rise and crude oil futures will fall under the action of long and short forces.

In addition, the trend of crude oil futures is also affected by the following factors:

1, changes in speculative positions, speculation in the crude oil market and market expectations have increased the fluctuation of crude oil prices.

2. Crude oil futures are inversely proportional to the trend of the US dollar, that is, the US dollar rises, crude oil futures fall, the US dollar falls, and crude oil futures rise.
