- Reuters reports suspicious trading patterns anticipating Trump policy shifts — Reuters reported that unknown traders netted millions of dollars through well-timed trades anticipating Trump's major policy shifts, suggesting possible advance notice of announcements. Examples include options traders profiting millions minutes before Trump announced a pause on "Liberation Day tariffs" in April 2025, and six people generating $1.2 million in Polymarket bets hours before a US-Israel attack on Iran. Legal experts believe the pattern warrants investigation for potential insider trading and breach of confidentiality.
