Global markets have entered a dangerous phase — where the mix of geopolitics and finance no longer feels like just a theory, but rather a reality.
Recently, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (Iran's parliament speaker) has made a serious accusation:
👉 They claim that some U.S. market players are taking advantage of pre-market news to manipulate the markets — especially during sensitive situations like war.
📊 What Is Happening in the Market?
Their claim is that:
War-related news is accessed beforehand
Positions are taken based on that news
Then when the public receives the news, the market has already moved
That is, by the time the average investor reacts, smart money has already taken profits.
🧠 “Do the Opposite” Strategy – How Accurate Is It?
Their message was simple:
👉 “If they pump — short it”
👉 “If they dump — go long”
This strategy sounds powerful, but in reality, it is not that simple.
Markets:
Does not run solely on news
Liquidity, sentiment, and macro factors also affect
Not every move is manipulation
⚖️ Reality Check: Fact or Narrative?
There are two angles here:
1. Political Narrative:
During war, the blame game is common — and blaming financial systems can also be a strategy.
2. Market Behavior:
There have been cases in history where insiders have profited — but to call every move insider trading would also be incorrect.
🚨 Warning for Investors
If you are trading, remember:
Blindly following the “opposite” strategy is risky
Trade on data, not emotions
Risk management is the most important
It is important to avoid fake narratives
