    3) It is reported that OPEC+ members Iraq and Nigeria are not in line with the agreed production cuts, Saudi Arabia and Russia are dissatisfied, and the meeting scheduled for June 9-10 may also be canceled
    .
    Saudi Arabia and Russia proposed that the condition for extending the cuts by one month is that other members must commit to strictly implement the cuts and make up for the previous non-compliance
    .

    At present, macro sentiment is still optimistic, the Dow Jones index closed up 1.
    63 percentage points yesterday, and gold prices fell back to around $1700, indicating that the market is still confident
    in the reopening of overseas economies.
