White House Issues Warning on Futures Market Speculation Following Policy Shift

On April 10, insiders revealed that shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced a halt to attacks on Iran last month, the White House cautioned staff against exploiting their positions for speculative activities in the futures market. According to BlockBeats, the White House Office of Management sent an email to all employees on March 23, issuing this warning. Earlier that day, Trump had announced the decision to pause the attacks via Truth Social. Approximately 15 minutes before this abrupt policy change, the futures market experienced a series of mysterious trading activities. A senior government official who received the email noted that the warning served as a timely 'reminder,' given the frequent reports of suspicious large bets in the futures market.
