Roughly 15 minutes before President Trump posted on Truth Social that a ceasefire had been agreed to, a single trader made more than $580 million in oil futures trades. You heard me right, $580 million. Then there's this example from May 6th. Just one hour before Axios reported that Trump was nearing a deal with Iran to end the war, there was a huge spike in trading volume for oil contracts. And you know what? This was at 3:42am 3:42 in the morning. Think about that. Hundreds of millions of dollars in trading out of the blue at three in the morning, minutes before a major White House announcement that sent the price plummeting. (02:01–02:07)
