Trump pulls a TACO, and the crude oil short sellers are laughing: after taking hits for three months, their savior has finally arrived. Address: 0xebe126adabe1a8f08d3ce53b45e7cc994ca14070 This Hyperliquid crude oil mega short seller started testing shorts on Brent in late April and officially went heavy short in early May, with a maximum position of nearly 300,000 contracts. But shortly after shorting, Brent surged back to $108.11. At that time, he still held about 230,000 short contracts, and based on visible cost estimates, his account was once floating a loss of over $2 million. And the one who made things so tough for him was none other than Trump. Over the past few months, Trump has been escalating military threats against Iran. Every time U.S.-Iran tensions rise, oil prices spike; whenever the Strait of Hormuz makes headlines, the war premium gets priced back in. This address adjusted its position but never fully exited its core shorts. Two days ago, he actually turned profitable. When Brent dropped back to around $90, the short position had a floating profit of about $1.25 million; when it fell further to around $84.5, the profit expanded to about $2.2 million. What gave him the confidence to cash out on a large scale was still Trump. One moment, Trump was threatening larger-scale strikes against Iran; the next, he suddenly paused actions and pushed for negotiations again. Wall Street’s familiar TACO was back: Trump Always Chickens Out. The market had been trading on the risk of supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, only to realize Trump had left himself an escape route again. Coupled with OPEC+’s decision to increase production by 188,000 barrels/day in September, the war premium in crude oil prices was immediately flushed out. Brent hit a low of $81.925, and WTI fell below $79. This short seller, who had been tormented by Trump for months, finally started to reel it in. Today, he covered 126,000 Brent contracts, with a transaction value of about $10.55 million, pocketing profits of approximately $1.756 million. Of the 167,000 short contracts he held at the opening, 75% were closed in one day, leaving only 41,000 contracts worth about $3.45 million. Trump first caused this person to suffer a floating loss of over $2 million, making him endure nearly three months of pain; then he personally pulled a TACO, draining the war premium from oil prices and gifting him $1.76 million in realized profits. Whether oil prices rise or fall, it all hinges on Trump’s words. The one who hit him was Trump, and the one who saved him was still Trump.
