Mystery Jump in Oil Trading Ahead of Trump Post Draws Scrutiny

[Conservative from Georgia]

I hope the Wall Street Journal isn’t insinuating that Trump is letting his friends know when he’s going to make a comment that could move the stock market and oil market a certain way.

I don’t think Trump would do that, because that would make him corrupt and he’s not corrupt.

To the left, public announcements constitute 'insider trading'. I remember last April when Trump told everyone to buy stock. The market immediately rose. Leftwingers screamed "insider trading!"

Trump told investors to 'buy' on social media hours before his tariff pause rose stocks, raising questions about manipulation

Less than four hours after his post, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all his tariffs.

So the article is just about the fact that a public announcement was made? You read nothing else about it.?

Or you just didn’t find the huge spike in oil and stock trading right before the post very convenient to mention?

No surprise at all. Now it looks like Trump is serving MBS and the Saudis with this war. Another business deal.

This is all out in the open.

Oil is up. Oil is down. This is the market we’re in. But losers try to claim public posts amount to insider trading “But Mash. Not everybody reads Trump’s tweets” Maybe it’s time to start.

Pump and dump schemes

Greater Israel/Epstein Furry = America Last

Trump is not in charge

The article doesn’t claim that oil always goes up or always goes down. That’s a straw man.

This needs to be busted and prosecuted. Treason, pure and simple...

Love the sarcasm.

Are you intentionally being obtuse or are you stupid?

AI Overview

A surge of approximately $580 million to $650 million in oil futures trading occurred roughly 15 minutes before a market-moving social media post by President Donald Trump regarding Iran on Monday, March 23, 2026, drawing intense scrutiny over potential insider trading. The unusual trading activity—occurring around 6:50 a.m. ET—was followed by a post at 7:05 a.m. ET stating that the U.S. and Iran had held "productive conversations," causing oil prices to drop significantly and S&P 500 futures to jump.

More likely, it was just a bunch of selfless patriots who all wanted to lose money on that evil oil thang whom Trump fooled at the last minute and they turned a profit instead making money on the black devil instead.

Oh Trump, that evil rat bastard.

Trump is being setup by the jews he is trying to help

You’re an odious hack troll.

Nothing about you is fair or reasonable or honest. I mean, ffs, even your self-selected username is an obvious lie.

An up and down market is what we're in. Great chance of this happening by luck.
As I said, you leftwingers claimed insider trading with Trump's public tweet to buy stock. You just look for reasons to rip this great man, and you look silly doing it.

Trump is being setup.

Not only will Americans suffer the collapse, but he and his family will likely goto prison after the greater israel crowd turns on him.

This is obviously not going to go well for Americans or Trump.

Won't be long till "leaked" emails drop

America simply lives up to its reputation of being the most corrupt nation and people on the planet.

It seems almost beyond coincidence that America and Israel are so closely bound together .
It's as though there is a God which has marked clearly the two nations which will suffer the most before Party Time is declared for the remainder .

The SEC, controlled by trump, says it is not investigating. Imagine my surprise.

Okay then, you're just too stupid to understand what it means when somebody places trades 15 minutes before a major announcement that made them millions of dollars.

And you believed Trump did insider trading last April, right? Of course you did.

"Dotard sent out a social media post today, with the Dow down 300 points, saying vaguely "he thinks" China wants to do a deal. Now the Dow is up 650. Schiff is right, this needs to be looked in to. Especially with trump's record of criminality as well as consorting with criminals." - Berg80
