Lates News

Just 15 minutes before Trump tweeted about the "productive" Iran negotiations, traders placed about $580 million worth of crude oil-related positions. On the eve of the news, about 6200 Brent crude and WTI crude contracts were traded; after the news was released, oil prices dropped significantly, and the stock market immediately surged. This timing raised suspicions from the public about the possibility of insider information, but currently there is no evidence, and relevant officials have denied any wrongdoing.
