CFTC Looking at Funny Business Very Nice

Jagshemash, Americans. Borat here, reporting live from the land of capitalist intrigue. It seems your Commodity Futures Trading Commission – very important, like my cousin's job as chicken inspector – is looking into some very suspicious oil trades. These trades happened right before President Trump, the man with hair like spun gold, made a surprise announcement about Iran. Very nice, but also very suspect.

The Mystery of the Spiking Volumes Very Nice

Like trying to milk a yak in high heels, regulators are trying to figure out why the trading volumes suddenly jumped before key announcements. They are looking at at least two instances over a two-week period. This is like finding a suspicious stain on my best disco suit – you must investigate. The CFTC and ICE are staying silent, like a mime at a funeral, but they are cooperating. Talking about failing businesses and funny deals, let's discuss Eddie Bauer's Bankruptcy: Another One Bites the Dust. Even that story is very nice, but at least someone made a buck.

Tag 50 Identifiers Very Nice

The CFTC is seeking 'Tag 50 identifiers.' This is like asking for the secret recipe of my wife's famous fermented horse milk – it tells you who is behind the funny business. They want to know who was pulling the strings, like a puppet master controlling Rudy Giuliani's public appearances. Very nice.

CME Says Look at Everyone Very Nice

CME, they are saying, "Hold your horses" They are saying the CFTC need to look at new platforms, like prediction markets, too. They claim that nothing is more important than market integrity – sounds like something my neighbor would say after stealing my goat. They want to spread the blame, like when I accidentally released a swarm of bees at the Kazakh Running of the Jew. Incident.

The Trump Tweet That Shook the Markets Very Nice

CNBC reported that March 23, S & P 500 e-mini futures and West Texas Intermediate May crude futures saw a sudden and isolated surge in volume. 15 minutes later, Trump said that the U.S. and Iran had held talks. Wawaweewa. The market went crazy, like when I tried to introduce my wife to Pamela Anderson. S & P 500 futures jumped, and WTI crude oil futures tumbled.

Senators Demand Answers Very Nice

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Sheldon Whitehouse have called on the CFTC to investigate the unusual trades. They are asking if there has been recurring misappropriation of material nonpublic government information. Maybe someone knew something they shouldn't have, like my government knows about my collection of Madonna's hair. Very nice, but also potentially illegal.
