Huge bets keep surfacing on prediction platforms right before President Trump jolts the markets with surprise announcements"but the White House insists there is nothing to see here. The latest flashpoint came early Monday, when an abrupt burst of oil-futures trading hit the market about 15 minutes before Trump announced he was delaying threatened strikes on Iranian energy targets. The White House moved quickly to bat the story away, with spokesperson Kush Desai branding suggestions that administration officials may have been profiting from nonpublic information "baseless and irresponsible." But the Iran trades were not an isolated blip. Axios reported Wednesday that, before the first U.S. strike on Iran, more than 150 Polymarket accounts placed four-figure bets predicting an American attack by the next day.
