      Western, Eastern, Hamas… a lot of speculative trading is done based on rumors, what better than rumors which actually come true.

        As was mentioned, these were very high shorts, implying a far higher confidence than mere rumors.

          Yes, this was a sharp level of activity.

          Given the rumours about Egypt giving a warning 3 days earlier, I don’t think Hamas is likely the only potential source or beneficiary of the information.

      Do you have a link? That would actually be more interesting because it would mean they’d have had advanced knowledge. Which raises “how” and “who”.

        No, it was just commentators. They saw “unknown trader” and filled in their own biases.
