Traders bet hundreds of millions of dollars on oil contracts just minutes before US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the US would postpone strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure.
Market data reviewed by the BBC shows the volume of trade spiked around fifteen minutes before a social media post by the president announcing the move.
The price of oil fell sharply after the announcement, dropping 14% in a matter of minutes. Traders who bet on the unexpected move would have made money.
Some market analysts say the unusual activity opens up the possibility that the bets may have been placed with prior knowledge of the decision.
The BBC has contacted the White House for comment. A spokesman told the Financial Times that it did not "tolerate any administration official illegally profiteering off of insider knowledge".
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission did not respond to a request for comment. The Securities and Exchange Commission declined to comment.
Global financial markets have been rocked by the Middle East conflict, with share prices sliding as the cost of oil and gas soared, but on several occasions hope of a potential end to the war has seen volatile movements with oil falling sharply and stock markets rising.
On Saturday, Trump threatened to "obliterate" Iran's power plants if it did not re-open the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world's oil and gas normally pass, within 48 hours.
Markets were closed that day, but fell sharply across Asia when they re-opened on Monday morning, while the price of oil started to climb.
However, at 07:04 Eastern Time (11:04 GMT) on Monday, before US markets opened for the week, the president posted on his Truth Social platform that Washington had held "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS" with Tehran over a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities.
Immediately, stocks bounced and the price of oil dipped to as low as $84 (£63) per barrel for the benchmark US price.
