ME News message: On April 22 (UTC+8), according to Jin10 Data, 15 minutes before U.S. President Trump said he would extend the ceasefire agreement with Iran, traders placed a $430 million bet that oil prices would fall. This is the third time this month, and the fourth time since the conflict began, that traders made large-scale and precise predictive bets on oil prices shortly before major announcements related to the Iran war. The bet in March was worth $500 million, while in April the total amount of bets reached approximately $2.1 billion. On March 23, 15 minutes before Trump announced that he would postpone an attack on Iran’s power facilities, traders made a $500 million bet that oil prices would fall.

On April 17, about 20 minutes before Iran’s Foreign Minister announced that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened to commercial ships, traders placed a $760 million bet that oil prices would fall.
