Deep Tide TechFlow News, on April 22, just 15 minutes before U.S. President Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire agreement with Iran, traders bet $430 million on falling oil prices. This was the third time this month, and the fourth since the conflict began, that traders made large-scale and precise predictive bets on oil prices just before major announcements related to the Iran war. The March bet was worth $500 million, while the total bets in April reached approximately $2.1 billion.

On March 23, just 15 minutes before Trump announced the delay of an attack on Iranian power facilities, traders bet $500 million that oil prices would fall. A few hours before Trump announced a two-week ceasefire on April 7, bets worth $950 million were executed. On April 17, just before Iran’s Foreign Minister announced that the Strait of Hormuz would be open to commercial ships for about 20 minutes, traders bet $760 million on falling oil prices. (Jin10)
