"$1.5 billion. Let me say it again a $1.5 billion bet. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption."
"At around 6:50 a.m. in New York, S&P 500 e-Mini futures trading on the CME recorded a sharp and isolated jump in volume, breaking from an otherwise subdued premarket backdrop."
Sen. Chris Murphy criticized the Trump administration for alleged corruption linked to a $1.5 billion stock trade made just before President Trump's announcement regarding U.S.-Iran negotiations. Reports indicated that massive trades occurred five minutes prior to the announcement, with significant purchases in S&P 500 futures and sales in oil futures. The trading activity was noted for its unusual size, raising questions about the identity of the trader and the motivations behind the timing of the trades, which Murphy deemed as mind-blowing corruption.
