Financial Times: Huge suspicious transactions in the oil market just before Donald Trump announces negotiations with Iran.

Energy traders made significant transactions in oil on Monday morning, just minutes before U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his social media that he had "productive" negotiations with Iran.

Between 6:49 and 6:50, approximately 6,200 futures contracts for Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil were traded, with a total estimated value of 580 million dollars. Shortly after Trump's post, oil prices dropped sharply, and investors adjusted their expectations regarding a conflict with Iran. Although the Iranian parliamentary leader denied the existence of negotiations, the markets reacted quickly, causing significant fluctuations.

Experts pointed out that these well-timed transactions raise questions about the possible financial benefits obtained before official announcements, bringing considerable profits but without clarity on the entities involved.
