Traders bet hundreds of millions of dollars on oil contracts just minutes before US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the US would postpone strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure.
Market data reviewed by the BBC shows the volume of trade spiked around fifteen minutes before a social media post by the president announcing the move.
The price of oil fell sharply after the announcement, dropping 14% in a matter of minutes. Traders who bet on the unexpected move would have made money.
Some market analysts say the unusual activity opens up the possibility that the bets may have been placed with prior knowledge of the decision.

billionaire, making money off the back od dead usa servicemen and 155 dead school children, SICK
An inside job, surely. Easy money if one has connection in the white House. Let's hope the "informed" who profited would be brought to account before Taco man is out of office.
Taco man cannot even win the integrity and credibility prize against the heinous regime in Iran. Taco man also blinked 1st; his ego has suffered an irreparable damage.
There's karma after all even where Iran is concerned.

trading on info from Mandelson when he was in OUR government.
I doubt there has been a time when it didn't happen.

Would be surprised if this sort of thing isn't happening all the time.
Joe Lewis, the former de facto owner of Spurs, was found guilty of insider trading. Let's hope the justice system is equally robust in this case.
Anyone remember Ivan Boesky? He never got any of his "trades" wrong, did he? He even coined "greed is good".
Quite a stretch, the bbc, proven to gaslight with anti Trump propaganda, have allegedly 'reviewed market data'
I wouldn't trust the bbc with my council tax bill.
lock em up lol.

For every seller there is a buyer.
Every trade will be documented. There will be a trail.

Quite obviously there will have been a spike in volumes around the oil commodities/futures, and quite obviously whales will have been betting on the outcome of the 'deadline'.
Maybe it was leaked, however a tad more proof is required then 'orange man bad', I suspect.

read yesterday,s conspiracy theory was trump announces this calm the markets take a week off ,regroup,replenish missile stocks,let markets close fri and then start hittig targets again,if so the THIEVES cant help themseleves so look out for another big sell off,fri afternoon on wall street,double bubble for those in the no as it were
What's the theory ? ...Trump and his pals are ripping off city types (who everybody seems to hate anyway) and there's faux outrage. Do you think the 'city types', who have all off the account details ,are just going to accept having their pants pulled down by 'insiders' ? The profits then need moving onto the actual insiders and like all conspiracy theories there are plenty involved and a full audit trail but nobody ever says anything and no hard evidence can be produced - but it's definitely going on - repeatedly.
He’s probably up there with the best at doing deals tbh….
