WASHINGTON: Millions of dollars in highly profitable trades have reportedly been detected in stock markets just minutes before major announcements by US President Donald Trump, raising serious concerns among financial experts.
During the Iran conflict, a clear pattern of unusual market activity was observed ahead of sharp fluctuations in global oil prices, suggesting possible advance knowledge of market-moving developments.
According to an investigative report by BBC, financial data from various markets was analyzed alongside key statements by Trump that had a significant impact on global markets.
The analysis revealed a recurring trend of sudden spikes in trading activity just before these announcements became public—patterns that analysts say are difficult to dismiss as mere coincidence.
Experts believe such trends could point to illegal insider trading, where privileged or non-public information is used to gain substantial financial advantage.
Trump’s market-moving decisions have already been a source of concern in global financial circles, with renewed calls for stricter oversight and transparency in politically sensitive economic developments.
