    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.
