Trump's Cunning Pattern
The pattern is revealed: Donald Trump's threats tend to escalate leading up to the weekend as the financial markets close.
However, when the markets open on Monday, he instead makes more calming statements (for example, the latest: on Saturday, he threatened Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, on Monday he said, "negotiations with Iran are already underway & the attack is postponed for 5 days").
This phenomenon can be seen as part of a psychological operation with economic dimensions. Every early week, Trump's statements seem aimed at pressuring oil prices. In fact, the five-day deadline he mentioned coincides with the energy market closing cycle. Meanwhile, there are no negotiations currently taking place. Trump also has no direct control to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Pressure and stern warnings from Iran have weakened his position again.

This is an example case related to market manipulation:
On Monday at 07:04 ET, Trump stated that the US and Iran are having "productive" talks to end the war.
Six minutes later, the index surged +240 points, adding about $2 trillion in market value.
However, 27 minutes later, Iran completely denied the statement and asserted that there has been no contact with the US.
As a result, at 08:00 ET, the S&P 500 actually dropped -120 points, wiping out about $1 trillion.
In less than an hour, a market value movement of around $3 trillion occurred just from the S&P 500.
What does this mean? There is a high likelihood of insider trading. There are people who profited from Trump's words, and Trump deliberately made those statements for massive money.
