Trump has taught the rest of the world how to manipulate the stock markets with news drops. Now, other nation states are doing it. You could see the war of markets live as Iran responded to Trump tweets.

Experienced traders were saying, we've crossed into a new world now, with an increasing number of entities trying to pump and dump news drops for profit. It's making the markets extremely risky during news hours. Some traders are switching to futures in the middle of the night to avoid major news drop times.
