The CSRC stated that when a party commits two or more similar illegal acts, with both profits and losses from different acts, whether to offset profits and losses when calculating illegal gains is a key issue in the draft, particularly evident in market manipulation cases.

Analysts warn that the full impact of supply disruptions caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure on California has not yet materialized. According to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA), as of Thursday, California drivers were paying an average of $5.86 per gallon for fuel, the highest in the nation, far exceeding the national average of $4.09 per gallon. Analysts say that because California relies on refined petroleum products from Asia, supply tightness is expected to worsen further, making California one of the first regions in the U.S. to feel the supply shock from the Strait of Hormuz closure. A spokesperson for the California Energy Commission stated, "The Commission is in close communication with all refineries in the state to ensure sufficient transportation fuel supplies during this turbulent period of supply contraction caused by the actual closure of the Strait of Hormuz."
