#12TACO comes again.
Re: Trump Postpones Iran Energy Strikes for Five Days, Citing "Productive" Talks
#13TACO Tuesday comes on Monday.
My take: He wants "pauses" because he wants to resupply the strike group and/or wait for the Marine unit to transfer. I have my suspicions Iran isn't gonna fall for this trick.

If one knew Friday what he was going to say during the weekend, could that be profitable?

Of course, as long as it's before end of trading hours.
There are Crypto perpetual futures markets open all weekend but those are much smaller so it's unlikely they could make millions there.

#16Iran denies Trump's claims: 'We reject all negotiations – US has failed and Hormuz will remain closed' https://www.ynetnews.com/article/0t2zpd7dr And Brent futures are starting to climb up again fast. Trump's post is either him freaking out of a Black Monday and/or losing military command, or it can be interpreted as market manipulation. But I don't think he is much in control anymore.

#17Statements from Trump should be completely ignored, which Iran is effectively doing.
It’s as if he’s just options trading.
I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if he attacked those power plants this evening.

#18The amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli with its marines will be arriving on station shortly [0]. The Iranian regime have been preparing for a fight with the Great Satan since it came to power.
It will be a holy war for the Iranian regime so they will not back down. So unless Trump/US does back down it's safe to assume things are going to get far worse.

He probably got last minute intel that Iran will begin a retaliatory attack just before the deadline, that's why the truth social post is so rushed.
But, Trump being Trump, he'll probably do a suckerpunch attack today on the deadline.

The Dow Jones is the only think that keeps him remotely in-check, so he tries to say things that will calm the markets, but as Matt Yglesias says, Oil is a physical commodity, not a meme-stock, either it flows or it doesn't and we'll find out soon.
