BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.
In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.
These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.
The trader seemingly made huge gains.
Unusual.
BREAKING: Traders placed roughly $580 million in oil bets just 15 minutes before President Trump posted about a potential Iran peace deal, per FT.
The positions, around 6,200 futures contracts, were executed moments before the announcement and aligned with the sharp move lower in oil prices that followed.
The trades are estimated to have generated over $100 million in profit within 20 minutes.
