As Lewis Carroll wrote, it gets curioser and curioser. CNBC is reporting that volume in stock and oil futures experienced a sudden surge in volume at 0650 New York time Monday morning. Fifteen minutes later, as 0705, Trump posted his tweet on his social media account, claiming progress had been made in talks with Iran, and that Trump was holding off on striking Iranian power stations and oil facilities for five days. There is no reasonable explanation for why volume would suddenly surge. "Somebody" knew something.. A competent and honest Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would immediately investigate, demanding trading firms disclose the identity of the trader or traders who "suddenly" and not-so- serendipitously decided that moment was a good time to enter large trades. An honest and competent Dept of Justice would follow up the SEC investigation. Don't hold your breath. Bondi would undoubtedly say, "You worry about suspicious trades when the Dow was surging?" Maybe Administration officials who claim Trump's is "the most transparent Administration in history" are telling the truth. It would seem, in my opinion, massive corruption is in plain sight. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/23/volume-in-stock-and-oil-futures-surged-minutes-before-trumps-market-turning-post.html
