“The Trump administration ordered federal financial regulators to retract a report flagging suspicious oil trades.

“Only 15 min before…Trump decided not to strike Iranian power plants on March 23, a few traders sank billions of dollars into predicting that the S&P 500 would go up & oil prices would fall, making a hefty profit, Bloomberg reports. The traders reportedly used a 2-min window at 6:49 am that day to make the massive deals in futures markets.

“‘The fact that this trading preceded a headline driven sell-off means that either someone got very lucky or knew something,’ Tim Skirrow, head of derivatives at Energy Aspects, said to Bloomberg.”
