Wall Street insiders are suspicious of a massive futures contract tied to Trump’s meetings at the G20 that paid out more than $1 billion

’s erratic behavior fueling a business model? Some Wall Street options traders are beginning to suspect so. They’ve taken note, with increasing alarm, of people making strange bets tied to Trump’s actions and then cashing in bigly when the odd bets pay off. “If you had the ability to make hundreds of millions of dollars, or billions, and you knew how to hide it and it was impossible to find, wouldn’t you do it?” a longtime Wall Street options trader asks me sarcastically.

Take, for example, what happened in the last 30 minutes of trading on Friday, June 28 at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

On Saturday in Osaka—after the market had closed in Chicago—Trump emerged from his meeting with Xi and announced that the contentious on-again, off-again trade talks with China were back on. “We discussed a lot of things, and we’re right back on track,” Trump said at the news conference following his private meeting with Xi. “Who knew Trump would offer a truce with Xi?” the options trader wondered.
