The strange part about the Iranian president's statement early this morning: ZeroHedge was the first to post it at 12:39 AM, while Bloomberg's breaking news came out at 12:50 AM, and Al Jazeera News released it even later at 2:00 AM. Then at 3:00 AM, Al Jazeera posted another statement from Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi: 'We don’t believe negotiations with the U.S. will yield any results, trust has dropped to zero.' But the market has temporarily ignored the latest official statements from Iran. The weird thing about this is: Bloomberg, the top-tier media outlet with connections everywhere, was actually more than 10 minutes slower than ZeroHedge. Right after ZH's breaking news was posted, U.S. stocks immediately rebounded sharply, and crude oil prices dropped. Is there a hint of manipulation here? Especially since it’s the end of the quarter with rebalancing happening, and a large amount of passive funds adjusting positions, making it easier to trigger follow-on moves. I’m not sure, just think it’s a bit odd Please forgive me for leaning into conspiracy theories here—I hope my suspicions are wrong.
