🔥 Over $3.5B in oil trading volume at precisely the right timing—could there be some manipulation going on?
According to The Kobeissi Letter, an investment group shorted crude oil with a total volume of $920M the day before Axios reported that Iran and the US are close to reaching an agreement last night.
Just one hour after placing the order, oil prices crashed by more than 12% to the $88 level, and this investment group raked in a $125M profit.
Since March—i.e., less than 2 months ago—~$3.5B worth of short orders have appeared accurately down to the minute ahead of major announcements about Iran.
- 500-580M was shorted immediately before Trump postponed attacks on Iran.
- $950M was placed as a bet before the two-week ceasefire announcement was released.
- $760M appeared a few minutes before Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz.
- $430M happened right before the ceasefire was extended.
Could messages about war and peace be intentionally leaked to insiders before reaching the press?
