Note(s): This table presents the OLS regression results of crude oil returns on various sentiment measures. Columns from (1) to (4) provide the regression results for the sentiment scores calculated by the SESTM method, HIV dictionary, LM dictionary, and VADER algorithm, respectively, without control variables. Columns from (5) to (8) present the results after including control variables. Variables are defined in  Appendix. All regressions include year-month fixed effects. T-statistics are in parentheses. *, **, and *** denote significance at the 10, 5, and 1% level, respectively
