"You were a little rattled when the president said one thing at 6, and then he said another thing at later on. The one thing I think everybody should recognize is these futures are very suspect. You had a thin market, it spikes really badly, there was no one around to be able to be on the other side. It was almost like it was that oil was a meme stock."
"As the Iran war enters its tenth day, Trump and his administration have taken heavy criticism over a series of conflicting messages that have dogged the effort in some cases emanating solely from Trump. Uncertainty about the war has also resulted in surging oil prices, but fell Monday when Trump said the war was very complete, pretty much."
During the tenth day of the Iran war, President Trump and his administration issued contradictory messages about the military operation's status, creating significant uncertainty in oil markets. Trump initially stated the war was very complete, but later acknowledged Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's assertion that the operation was just beginning. This inconsistency caused oil price fluctuations and market instability. CNBC host Jim Cramer criticized the chaotic messaging, noting that thin market conditions amplified volatility when oil prices spiked without sufficient buyers to stabilize prices. Cramer compared the oil market behavior to meme stock dynamics, highlighting how conflicting presidential statements rattled investors and created unpredictable trading conditions.
