$125 million estimated profit made by someone who opened a short position minutes before Trump announced a 14-point deal with Iran. Nearly $920 million in crude oil shorts placed at 3:40 a.m. Eastern time, about 70 minutes before Axos reported that the US and Iran were nearing a 14-point deal to end the war. Oil plunged more than 12%, with the position gaining an estimated $125 million. As soon as this was announced, crude oil prices began to drop. Trump released a statement: > Trump releases a statement that reports that the deal uh that a deal to end the Iran war is imminent assuming that Iran agrees to what has been agreed to. Epic fury will be at the end.

This is five weeks of market manipulation based on repeated claims of an imminent US-Iran deal to end the war, with markets pushing higher on Trump's tweets proven fake for the past four to five weeks. Markets celebrating the end of the Iran war for the fifth consecutive week, propping markets higher today. Wait for Iran to confirm or deny the deal for market reaction. Highlights conflict of interest and insider trading suspicions: large short taken hours or minutes before news, which would lead to investigations for average traders but not here.

President of the United States continues to lie over and over, yet markets push higher. Five weeks of this, questioning why war celebration continues if it ended weeks ago.
