-- 两位美国参议员周五敦促商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)调查他们所称的在特朗普总统3月和4月两次就中东冲突发表最新声明前夕的原油期货可疑交易。 两位议员在致CFTC主席迈克尔·S·塞利格的信中表示,在2026年3月23日和4月7日两次重要政策声明发布前不久,出现了大量且时机恰当的押注,这可能表明存在滥用非公开政府信息的情况。 “这种模式引发了人们对是否存在反复滥用重大非公开政府信息以及政府内外人员在多大程度上利用此类信息采取行动的严重质疑,”两位议员在信中写道。 信中指出,在特朗普宣布与伊朗达成为期两周的停火协议前几个小时,交易员在4月7日押注约9.5亿美元押注油价下跌。该声明导致油价暴跌约15%。 议员们表示,就在特朗普宣布将举行会谈以缓和战争局势之前,3月23日原油期货交易量激增,此举导致原油价格下跌,股市指数上涨。 信中指出,有报道称,纽约商品交易所身份不明的交易员在特朗普宣布相关消息前几分钟进行了一笔5亿美元的“石油押注”。 参议员们表示:“在特朗普宣布相关消息之前,没有任何公开消息可以解释价格的波动。” 议员们还指出,市场活动呈现出一种更广泛的模式,即预期政府将做出重大决定。 信中援引路透社的一项调查,指出其他涉及股票期权和预测市场的案例,交易员似乎也在政策宣布前获利。 信中还提到,此前有报道称,与2025年4月暂停加征关税的公告相关的收益,以及今年早些时候对委内瑞拉政治局势发展和美国可能对伊朗采取军事行动的押注。 参议员们询问美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)执法部门是否已对3月和4月的石油交易展开调查,如果没有,原因是什么。议员们还要求提供该机构监控机制以及与交易所协调以发现异常交易模式的详细信息。
