美國參議員敦促對石油交易展開調查,川普即將公佈伊朗局勢最新進展

-- 兩位美國參議員週五敦促商品期貨交易委員會(CFTC)調查他們所謂的在川普總統3月和4月兩次就中東衝突發表最新聲明前夕的原油期貨可疑交易。 兩位議員在致CFTC主席邁克爾·S·塞利格的信中表示,在2026年3月23日和4月7日兩次重要政策聲明發布前不久,出現了大量且時機恰當的押注,這可能表明存在濫用非公開政府信息的情況。 「這種模式引發了人們對是否存在反覆濫用重大非公開政府資訊以及政府內外人員在多大程度上利用此類資訊採取行動的嚴重質疑,」兩位議員在信中寫道。 信中指出,在川普宣布與伊朗達成為期兩週的停火協議前幾個小時,交易員在4月7日押注約9.5億美元押注油價下跌。該聲明導致油價暴跌約15%。 議員表示,就在川普宣布將舉行會談以緩和戰爭局勢之前,3月23日原油期貨交易量激增,此舉導致原油價格下跌,股市指數上漲。 信中指出,有報道稱,紐約商品交易所身份不明的交易員在川普宣布相關消息前幾分鐘進行了一筆5億美元的「石油押注」。 參議員表示:“在川普宣布相關消息之前,沒有任何公開消息可以解釋價格的波動。” 議員們也指出,市場活動呈現出更廣泛的模式,即預期政府將做出重大決定。 信中引述路透社的一項調查,指出其他涉及股票選擇權和預測市場的案例,交易員似乎也在政策宣布前獲利。 信中還提到,此前有報道稱,與2025年4月暫停加徵關稅的公告相關的收益,以及今年早些時候對委內瑞拉政治局勢發展和美國可能對伊朗採取軍事行動的押注。 參議員詢問美國商品期貨交易委員會(CFTC)執法部門是否已對3月和4月的石油交易展開調查,如果沒有,原因是什麼。議員們還要求提供該機構監控機制以及與交易所協調以發現異常交易模式的詳細資訊。
