minus-squarei_ben_fine@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·11 months agoMy first exposure to this story implied it might have been western traders, not Hamas.
minus-squarejarfil@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoWestern, Eastern, Hamas… a lot of speculative trading is done based on rumors, what better than rumors which actually come true.

minus-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8·11 months agoYes, 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.
