$760M was sold in Brent crude futures just 20 minutes before confirmation that the Strait of Hormuz was fully open.


Prices dropped up to 11% immediately after.
This is not an isolated event.
April 7
~$950M sold ahead of US Iran ceasefire news
March 23
~$500M positioned 15 minutes before Donald Trump paused strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure
Oil fell 15%
The pattern is consistent
Large, well timed positioning immediately before market moving announcements

Markets react to information
Some participants act before it becomes public
