GateNews

Gate News update. On April 8, according to reports, Rep. Ritchie Torres (Democrat) of the U.S. said on April 9 that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should investigate anomalous trading activity in the oil and stock futures markets shortly before President Trump delayed last month’s military strike against Iran. Torres said: “The speed, size, and structure of the trades are all highly suspicious, and the facts are clear—both the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission cannot ignore it.” The lawmaker called on regulators to launch a formal investigation into the trading in the oil, energy, and stock futures markets in the minutes before Trump posted on March 23, and to obtain trading records for the accounts related to these trades.
