PANews March 29 news, according to Jin Ten reports, during Trump's second term, trades that were strategically positioned before the announcement of major policies may have brought millions of dollars in profits to some traders. Multiple legal experts have stated that these trades should be investigated to maintain market fairness and determine whether there was information leakage. According to a Reuters summary, before the Trump administration made a series of key decisions regarding tariffs, Venezuela, and Iran, there were suspected pre-positioned trades in the market. These trades involve different types of markets and assets, such as options, commodity futures, and prediction markets. Andrew Wostein, an insider trading expert at UCLA Law School, stated that these trades appear very suspicious. Although the number of cases is limited, these patterns exactly match people's expectations—if government officials and their friends trade using information advantages, this situation will arise. Eitan Gorman, former director of the CFTC enforcement division and former federal prosecutor, indicated that such trades often attract regulatory scrutiny; however, the insider trading laws in the commodity markets are relatively complex, and there are still few precedents in the relevant areas.
