CFTC analysts flagged unusually well-timed trading before a March 23 Truth Social post in which US President Donald Trump postponed planned U.S. strikes on Iranian energy facilities, according to Bloomberg.

Billions of dollars in contracts changed hands in the 15 minutes before the announcement. Sources said analysts identified traders and referred their findings to the CFTC’s enforcement division, but a senior official intervened and asked them to retract the referral.
