  • US Regulators Probe Suspicious Trading Around Trump's Iran Announcements
    April 26, 2026, 7:25 AM EDT. US financial regulators, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), are investigating what critics allege could be the largest insider-trading case in US history. The probe focuses on unusually timed bets on oil futures and stock indices that coincide closely with President Donald Trump's statements on the US-Iran conflict. For example, minutes before Trump announced a halt to strikes on Iran, billions of dollars worth of Brent crude and S&P 500 futures traded, triggering sharp market moves. Democratic lawmakers have urged the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to join the inquiry. Independent investigations highlight patterns of sudden trading spikes ahead of Trump's public remarks, raising questions about potential misuse of privileged information. Blockchain data reveals millions earned betting on US-Iran war developments. The unfolding investigations aim to uncover whether Trump's war-related announcements were exploited by insiders for market gain.
