Oil Market Sees $920M Short Position Built 70 Minutes Before U.S.-Iran Peace Deal Report

According to market analysis firm The Kobeissi Letter, approximately $920 million in crude oil short positions were established on May 7 at 3:40 AM ET (3:40 PM Beijing time), 70 minutes before Axios reported that the U.S. was nearing a deal with Iran to end their conflict. The market built nearly 10,000 crude oil short contracts during an otherwise quiet trading session, an unusually large transaction for that time. By 7:00 AM ET (7:00 PM Beijing time), oil prices had declined over 12%, generating approximately $125 million in unrealized gains on the short position.
