🇺🇸 US Congressman Calls for Probe Into Suspicious Oil Trades

U.S. Congressman Ritchie Torres has asked the SEC and CFTC to investigate unusual oil futures trades made just before President Trump announced a delay in attacks on Iran.

About $500M in Brent and WTI futures were reportedly sold 15 minutes before the announcement, triggering concerns about possible insider trading.

After Trump’s statement pausing the strike, oil prices plunged nearly 15% within minutes, causing major market volatility.

Torres questioned how a trader could place such a large bet shortly before a market-moving announcement without hedging.

SEC declined to comment, while CFTC has not responded yet.
