ME News, May 20 (UTC+8), just minutes before Trump suspended his strike on Tehran on social media, the market experienced violent fluctuations, with over $800 million in crude oil futures transactions completed within minutes. Oil prices subsequently fell 13%, allowing some traders to profit. At least five companies made more than $5 million that day. The CFTC is investigating whether there was a leak of Trump's information or insider trading. The investigation focuses on three companies, including Qube, which made about $5 million; Forza Fund, which netted about $10 million; and TotalEnergies subsidiary Totsa, which made about $200k. These companies have not been accused, and algorithm-driven markets make it difficult to determine trading motives. Some companies claim their decisions were based on a news headline published before Trump's post. Currently, the CFTC's investigation is ongoing. (Source: MLion)
