CFTC: Market Manipulation Prohibition Equally Applies to Insider Trading, Exploiting Material Nonpublic Information Deemed Unlawful
On April 1, David I. Miller, Enforcement Director of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), outlined five key focus areas for future CFTC enforcement: insider trading, market manipulation, market abuse, retail fraud, and anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) violations.

- Probability the Strait of Hormuz stays open to navigation by end-April: Has fallen steadily to 20% (recent low)—Iran controls the strait tightly and has turned it into an economic warfare tool against the U.S.
- Probability U.S. ground troops enter Iran by month’s end: Remains high at 55% as

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on April 1 that the energy shock tied to the Iran conflict will likely impact overall inflation and could put upward pressure on core prices.
“I expect commodity price increases to feed one-for-one into overall inflation, pushing it higher for a period,” Bullard noted. “Core inflation will also face some upward pressure, and I’ll closely monitor the extent of pass-through and the correlation between the two measures.”
