It is recommended to take profits on IM long positions at high prices and consider arbitrage opportunities [1][6]. - In the stock index options market, due to low liquidity, low volatility, and ineffective sentiment indicators, the market trend is likely to be volatile, and a covered - call defensive strategy is recommended [2][6]. - In the treasury bond futures market, bond market sentiment is warming up.
