I just saw this or I would have said something sooner: for anybody who happens to take this nonsense seriously, I am happy to say unequivocally it is fake news.
We didn’t “coordinate news with market insiders” or leak anything, that ridiculous.
BREAKING: Several whistleblowers say that Axios coordinated news with market insiders, leaking CME order information via phone calls up to 30 minutes before market open and close prints. Crude oil short positions were also taken just before today's Axios report on a "US-Iran deal" and "14-point deal," gaining substantially as oil dropped sharply on the news.
Iranian political analyst Mohammad Marandi also says Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, and their close associates profited heavily in the past hours from fake news provided to Axios.
