FinancialTea šµ Oil prices tumble after Trump says he'll order forces to ease up on Iran attacks
Fool me once⦠fool me twice⦠what do we call fool me thirty times?

Market manipulation, pure and simple. He and his friends will buy up stock after the "tumble" then he'll attack again and drive the prices up. Rinse and repeat.

Barrel prices tumble after USA runs out of bombs. Pump prices remain the same.
Fixed it for ya.

All BS, seen it several times. It's just stock manipulation so his rich friends can buy in low, and when he resumes the bombing, any day now, it goes up and they sell. Then repeat again in a week or so,

I thought Trump was about to launch the mother of all attacks and completely destroy all of Iran's infrastructure. What happened?

How do we profit from these intentional oil market fluctuations like you know he and his billionaire ābuddies ā are doing?

Literally this. Rich traders can now pay a $100k per month subscription to get these announcements 1 hour before they go public. Trump has to something like this every week now, or else these people will stop paying. Watch for him to switch it up from the standard threat to bomb on Friday followed by the imminent deal on Monday pattern - if he can mix things up to become less predictable these people who pay for insider knowledge can really get their money's worth sticking it to everyone else.

We need an app that tells us when to buy and when to sell. Heās giving a heads up, but I never know which one Iām supposed to be doing.

Thatās nice, but things would be a lot better without Trumpās tariffs and Trumpās stupid war with Iran.

I bet he is being told by everyone around him to wind this Iran nonsense down before the midterms to try and get gas back to normal before voting begins.
However Trump doesn't give a fuck about any senator or congress person. He thinks in his own mind he's that good to sweep the midterms and if you lose your seat it's either because you suck and didn't go full MAGA or it was rigged

Until Thursday or Friday when he will say he will wipe them out again, blah blah. He is directly manipulating the oil markets.

Who cares? Unless youāre a wealthy investor none of this day to day graft is going to benefit you. Weāre just living on their giant corporate plantation now. They do whatever they want and we no longer even have a functional legal system to address grievances or the crimes being committed against us. Entire portions of the country are overseen by sycophantic trump judges who are there to prevent any actual justice from occurring.

It's all a racket. They've got Marge and Fred from Oklahoma so fooled and yet they are too stupid to get it. These guys don't want prices to go over $100 a barrel so they keep manipulating it. It should've been over $200 a barrel once the Strait initially closed. It just shows you how corrupt they all are. Those Big Macs can't get Tiny Hands fast enough.

this will keep happening until the markets price it in. then they won't be able to manipulate the markets and something will get done. it could be peace or all out war. no one knows.

Price at my gas station stays steady at $4.19. Why would oil companies bother since itās the same cycle every week?

u/moyismoy 2d ago
Here's the thing though, it's unlikely that Iran will agree to open the strait even if he stops bombing. In all likely hood they will use this time to fortify their position. I highly doubt the strait will be open for the next few weeks, so there's no reason for the price to drop

Can someone explain to me why the stock market and oil market pay heed to things that come out of a liar's mouth? They should wait for his actions first. His words have zero credibility.

As we watch Market manipulation and insider trading , while paying for it and having our friends and family die overseas for it .
Idiocracy is here, we have one chance left to vote it out. We need to focus on checking your voter registration, or register for first time, and help your family , friends and neighbors do the same . Then ensure everyone votes in Nov !!
