Whatever one may think of the Trump administration’s recent shifts in tariff policies, they sure provoked wild swings in securities’ prices worldwide. About ten days ago, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing tariffs ranging from 10% to 46% on various US trading partners, knocking down stock prices across the globe and triggering fears of a recession. A week later, he signed another order bringing those rates to 10% for three months—except for China, whose unwillingness to cooperate was rewarded with a whopping 125%, then 145% rate— thereby provoking an immediate surge in stock prices.The substantial agitation in stock markets caused by these changes in tariff policy created fantastic trading opportunities for anyone who had prior knowledge of the forthcoming policy changes. Trump himself was very much aware of this, as he enthusiastically announced to his followers on his social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday 9 April that ‘THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!’ (emphasis his) just a few hours before announcing the new tariff policy.This quickly prompted Senator Adam Schiff, followed by others, to ‘[call] on Congress to investigate whether President Donald Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation’. The intuition behind this initiative is straightforward: if Trump and his entourage traded in securities before each policy announcement, this behaviour, if substantiated, would look an awful lot like insider trading, which involves trading on material nonpublic information. Furthermore, deliberately sending stock prices crashing and then soaring may constitute market manipulation, which again could secure significant profits for those involved.
