Almost $600 million, 15 minutes before this Truth Social post, the Financial Times talked to a couple of portfolio managers about whether this was unusual or not.

One of them said,

is this is really abnormal.

It's Monday morning.

There's no important data today.

There aren't any Fed speakers.

It's an unusually large trade for a day with no event risk.

Somebody just got a lot richer.

And it wasn't just a bunch of money put in the oil markets.

It was also S&P 500 futures, which spiked well over 1% after this Trump announcement.

So

suspicious trades.

We don't actually know what happens, but it fits sort of a pattern that President Trump can make huge waves in the market, in the oil market, in the equities market by these announcements we saw with tariffs last year and now with the war, because the war is hanging on or investors are hanging on is every word with the war.

So we just saw a very unusual trade 15 minutes before this particular Truth Social post.

The other big story we're tracking is Monday night's collision at LaGuardia that killed two pilots on an Air Canada flight and closed the airport until 2 p.m.

yesterday.

Here's the general outline of what happened.

A fire truck had been dispatched to address a separate United plane that had aborted a takeoff.

and received permission to cross runway four by the air traffic controller.

That was when the Air Canada plane was landing on runway four.
