Large bets placed on oil and defence before Trump’s Iran announcement, reports say
Bloomberg and the Bangkok Post flagged roughly $500 million in concentrated bets on oil and defense futures placed hours before President Trump's public announcement on Iran. Those trades coincided with sharp spikes in oil and defense stock futures that preceded wider market moves after the announcement. The timing raises questions about possible advance information or market manipulation and highlights how such trades can drive higher fuel costs and amplify geopolitical market volatility.
Remember $2.98 a gallon for gas? That was BEFORE Trump started a war with Iran. Now you’re paying at least $4.05 for the privilege of driving to work. He didn’t just break his promise — he broke your budget. This is what reckless leadership costs. #TrumpsGasCrisis #USDemocracy #Pinks
lindarn.bsky.social4Someone needs to post a pic of price on 1/20/25 @11:59 am and now!

@KeepItBlueDems.bsky.social2⛽️ The average price of a gallon of gas hit $4.39 this morning — up 9¢ in just 24 hours, and 47% higher than before the Iran war. A month ago, it was $4.06. A year ago, it was $3.19. This is ALL Trump’s fault! 😡
Gas was under $3 before Trump. Now it is over $4 and rising while he focuses on a White House ballroom renovation. A ballroom? People are struggling to eat and he is picking out wallpaper. This is unacceptable. #TrumpsGasCrisis
William Ladislaw, Songwriter6Donald Trump has destroyed everything, yet they still let this monster remain in the White House playing president! 😠
LongtimeLiberal4Trump has proven that when your brain cells are displaced by a soup of hatred, greed, and fat it's difficult to make rational decisions.
