More than a year into Trump's second administration, you may have picked up on a pattern: Trump says something shocking, and the markets either spike or drop in response. Maybe that's just because this administration has been chaotic, or maybe it's something deeper. A new report from the BBC investigated suspicions of insider trading tied to President Trump's big announcements — though it's unclear who, if anyone, is engaging in illegal activity. We're breaking down the coincidences the BBC uncovered — and other instances that have raised questions about potential conflicts of interest within the Trump administration. What did the BBC say about insider trading and Trump? The BBC analyzed trade volume data on a number of financial markets, including betting apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, and cross-referenced them with some of Trump's significant policy moves and announcements. They looked at statements about the Iran war, tariffs, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, and the like. The BBC found "a consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public." https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/president-trump-set-accept-400-204410050.html
