CNBC analyzed Donald Trump's annual financial disclosures, quarterly corporate reports, and FactSet market data, finding that the value of his holdings in nine major oil and gas companies (including Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, etc.) grew by approximately $1.5 million to $4.4 million from February 27, the eve of the war, to August 31. The report noted that Trump's accounts traded energy stocks multiple times during market volatility throughout the war, including buying shares in eight major oil and gas companies on March 2, the first trading day after the initial US-Israel strike on Iran, and selling ExxonMobil shares on April 7, before the ceasefire with Iran was announced.
