Is this the best timed trade of 2026?
Yesterday, at 8:24 AM ET, oil traders bought nearly $800 MILLION worth of oil shorts.
Just 21 minutes later, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi said the "Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open."
By 9:10 AM ET, oil prices had collapsed to $80 per barrel and hit their lowest level since March 10th.
These same oil shorts made nearly $70 million in profit in less than one hour, according to our analysis.
Truly unusual.(The Kobeissi Letter)
