Gate News report, on April 10, according to people familiar with the matter, the White House Office of Management sent a warning email to all staff on March 23, instructing employees not to improperly use their authority to speculate in the futures market (the financial derivatives market). The move came just a few hours after President Trump, earlier the same day, announced via Truth Social that attacks on Iran would be paused. Notably, about 15 minutes before this sudden policy shift, the futures market saw a series of mysterious trading activities. A senior government official who received the email said that, given that suspicious, massive bets in the futures market are “often covered in the news,” the warning email was a timely “reminder.”
