The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating over $8 million in oil futures trades executed just minutes before President Trump announced the postponement of strikes on Tehran's energy facilities on March 23. The announcement led to a brief 13% drop in U.S. oil prices. According to The Wall Street Journal, at least five companies, including Qube Research & Technologies, Forza Fund Ltd., and Totsa, the trading arm of TotalEnergies, reportedly profited over $5 million each from these trades.
