[US Representative Calls for Investigation into Unusual Market Trading Before Trump Halted Strike on Iran] (1) US Representative Ritchie Torres stated that unusual trading activity occurred in the oil and stock futures markets just moments before Trump halted military action against Iran last month, and called on top-level regulatory agencies to launch an investigation. (2) Torres has written to the heads of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stating that the speed, scale, and structure of the trading are suspicious, and that the facts are so obvious that neither agency can ignore them. (3) He is requesting a formal investigation into oil, energy, and stock futures market trading in the minutes before Trump posted on social media on March 23, and to obtain trading records from the relevant accounts.
