Suspicious trades occurred in the oil market before Trump's announcement
A significant event recently captured attention in the oil market. Zamin.uz reported on this matter.

According to international financial publications, just seven minutes before US President Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran had been successful, oil traders executed suspicious futures trades. These actions within such a short timeframe caused sharp fluctuations in oil prices and sparked considerable buzz among market participants.

The President's announcement was made at 7:04 AM Washington time. However, it was discovered that within the two minutes leading up to this moment, nearly half a billion dollars worth of trades in Brent and WTI crude oil were executed on the New York Stock Exchange, exceeding half of their total value.

Immediately upon hearing the President's words, oil prices dropped while stock market indices began to rise. Subsequently, after Iran confirmed that negotiations were still ongoing, exchange indicators fell again and oil prices rose once more.

This situation clearly demonstrated the speed and sensitivity of global trading. Observers emphasize that it is difficult to determine whether these trades were pre-arranged or coincidental.

Analysts suggest that due to the precise timing, someone may have made significant profits. Meanwhile, the Deputy Press Secretary of the White House denied suspicions of illegal gains based on insider information, stating that the administration's primary goal is to protect public interests.

This incident not only highlighted uncertainty in the oil market but also once again showed how rapid and serious decisions made in global energy trading can be.
