DOJ PROBES $2.6 BILLION IN MYSTERY OIL TRADES The Department of Justice is investigating more than $2.6 billion in oil trades placed shortly before major Iran war announcements by President Donald Trump. According to reports, traders made massive bets that oil prices would fall just before ceasefires, military delays and Strait of Hormuz updates were announced. The DOJ and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are reviewing at least four trades, though authorities say there is no proof yet of insider trading or who placed the bets.(*Walter Bloomberg)
