美国司法部与CFTC调查石油市场可疑交易
Read, Watch or Listen
WASHINGTON: The US Department of Justice and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission opened an investigation this week into at least four suspicious oil-market trades reportedly placed moments before major policy announcements by US and Iranian officials. The trades, which totalled more than US$2.6 billion, were reported by ABC News, NBC News and international wire services on May 7–8. Investigators say one of the trades placed on March 23 involved more than US$500 million betting oil prices would fall minutes before President Trump announced postponed attacks on Iran's energy grid; other trades occurred ahead of separate statements by Iranian officials. Authorities are reviewing trading records and communications as prosecutors and the CFTC pursue potential market manipulation or insider trading.
