At 9.50pm AEDT yesterday, there was a sudden spike in trading on the oil and S&P 500 futures market.

6.50am New York time is an unusual time for a rush on trades on West Texas Intermediate May futures.

But it showed that all of a sudden, a substantial sum of money was bet on oil prices dropping and the stock market rising.

      The most blatantly corrupt. They literally do not care if their corruption is on full display to the world.

        i think they are just stupid. previous administrations were pretty bad too, but they kept it quiet, but i think they knew and told each other what they were really doing. these morons either didn’t understand or cannot follow the instructions
