Frequent "precise trading" before Trump announced major news, multiple experts call for thorough investigation
According to Jinshi reports, during Trump's second term, trades that were strategically positioned before the announcement of significant policies may have brought millions of dollars in profits to some traders. Several legal experts have stated that these trades should be investigated to maintain market fairness and determine whether there was any information leakage.
According to a Reuters summary, before the Trump administration made a series of key decisions regarding tariffs, Venezuela, and Iran, there were already suspected trades in the market that appeared to be positioned in advance. These trades involved different types of markets and assets, such as options, commodity futures, and prediction markets.
Andrew Wostein, an insider trading expert at UCLA School of Law, stated that these trades look very suspicious. Although the number of cases is limited, these patterns align perfectly with expectations—if government officials and their friends trade using information advantages, such situations will arise.
Eitan Gorman, former director of the CFTC Enforcement Division and former federal prosecutor, stated that such trades typically attract regulatory attention; however, the insider trading laws in the commodity markets are relatively complex, and there are still few precedents in this area.
