On the ongoing talks regarding a trade deal with America, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gore has said that almost 99 percent of the matter has been finalized, only one percent is left. He told that almost a consensus has been reached between both the parties, only a few issues are left which are yet to be discussed. He told that he will meet Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal tomorrow for the remaining 1 percent work.

According to NDTV report, Sergio Gore said that only one percent of the issues remained to be agreed upon. However, he has clearly refused to tell what things are yet to be agreed upon. Sergio Gore said that he does not want to talk about these issues publicly.

‘There is agreement with India on 99 percent issues’, said Sergio Gore
Sergio Gore said, ‘I don’t want to talk about these things publicly, but only one percent of such things are left. It is unbelievable that 99 percent things have been agreed upon and when you are so close to the target, one percent things are stuck.

Sergio Gore said that in trade negotiations both sides have to compromise to reach a beneficial outcome. He said, ‘Look, in such negotiations, every side has to give something, right? That is why it is considered a beneficial situation for both the parties.

‘Talks will be held on trade deal soon’, said Sergio Gore
Sergio Gore said that even though there are some problems, this agreement will be reached soon. Sergio Gore said that he will meet Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and will resolve the issue by discussing the remaining one percent agreement. He said that the one percent work that remains to be done is not related to policy differences but related to technical and legal details.

During this, Sergio Gore praised the Indian team which is talking with America on the trade deal and said that they have played an effective role in protecting the interests of their country. He said, ‘I would like to praise India and say that you have an incredible team.’ Sergio Gore also said that India’s tough stance on many issues has made trade talks with its partners challenging.

He said that this is the reason why this trade deal took so long to happen because America could not enter the Indian market due to India’s strict stance on some things. He said that this is the reason why it took 19 years for the European Union to deal with India. However, Sergio Gore is very positive about the trade deal between India and America.

Trump wants to sell soybeans to China
China has stopped purchasing soybeans and in such a situation Trump wants to sell more American agricultural products beef and soybeans to China. He is also in favor of increasing Chinese investment in America, but one of the main issues on which Trump is emphasizing is opening the Chinese market of 1.4 billion people to American companies. He believes that China has been adopting a very protectionist policy for a long time.

Proposal to form a joint trade board
In this direction, Trump wants to propose to China to form a joint trade board, where both the countries can sit and solve the problems related to bilateral trade. It is clear that Trump wants to return to America only after achieving some economic achievement from this trip.

Apart from this, China wants stability on the issue of tariffs because at one time Trump had imposed tariffs of up to 145 percent on Chinese goods. Beijing wants a system that will last for a long time and not change suddenly on the basis of a social media post.

Year 1992… You all must remember India’s biggest financial scam. When Harshad Mehta of Gujarat shook the banking system and stock market and committed a scam of about Rs 5 thousand crores through insider trading. Similarly, some allegations are also falling on US President Donald Trump. Just before Trump’s big announcements, surprising trading activities are being seen in the stock market, oil futures and prediction markets. What is insider trading and what is Trump’s case? Know in the explainer…

Question 1: What is insider trading and why is it considered illegal?

answer: Insider trading means trading in stocks, futures, options or other securities using confidential and non-public information that is not available to the general public. For example, an important government announcement such as a war decision or tariff policy is known in advance and bets are placed on that basis. This is illegal because it benefits those with inside information while ordinary investors suffer losses. This creates unfairness in the market and breaks the confidence of investors.

If we look at the case of Trump, sometimes there is a sudden surge in trading just before his statements become public. Experts consider this to be a sign of illegal insider trading, that is, some special people already know secret information, which the common man does not have. From this they earn crores and billions of rupees and the common man suffers loss.

Question 2: What major examples of Trump and insider trading have come to light?

answer: According to the BBC report, the trading pattern before Trump’s announcement is clearly visible. There are 5 big examples of this:

1. March 9, 2026: ‘The war is almost completely over’ on Iran war
Trump told CBS News in a phone interview that the conflict with Iran is almost over. The public became aware of this at 19:16 GMT, when the reporter posted on X, but bets on oil futures had increased 47 minutes earlier, at 18:29 GMT. As a result, oil prices fell by 25%. Traders who did short selling made profits worth millions of dollars.

2. March 23, 2026: ‘Complete and final solution’ with Tehran
Trump posted on Truth Social that the hostilities between Washington and Tehran have been completely resolved. The post happened at 11:04 GMT, but heavy bets on oil had taken place 14 minutes earlier (10:48-10:50 GMT). As a result, US oil prices fell 11%. According to some reports, at this time trades worth about 580 million dollars (about Rs 4.66 thousand crore) were made, due to which some traders made huge profits.

3. 28 February 2026: Bet of American attack on Iran
Blockchain analysis site BubbleMaps revealed that 6 new accounts were suddenly created in February. All of them voted heavily in favor of attacking Iran. When Trump confirmed the attack, these accounts earned a total of $1.2 million. Five accounts were never activated after this.

4. January 3, 2026: Case of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
A new account named ‘BurdenSome-Mix’ was created in December 2025 on an online prediction market like Polymarket. From December 30 to January 2, it spent $32,500 on Maduro’s resignation. Maduro was removed from office on January 3. The account won $4.36 lakh and immediately changed its username and became inactive.

5. April 2-9, 2025: (Liberation Day Tariffs and 90-day ceasefire)
Trump announced heavy tariffs on imports from around the world on April 2, 2025, causing stock markets to fall, but a week later, on April 9, he announced a 90-day tariff pause for all countries except China. Due to this announcement, the S&P 500 index jumped 9.5%, which was the biggest gain since the Second World War. Trading data shows that after 18:00 BST, huge bets were suddenly placed when the stock market went up and Trump’s announcement came at 18:18 BST. Due to this surge, some traders made a profit of about 20 million dollars.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman alleged in March 2026 that Trump’s cronies earned crores by taking advantage of inside information in the crude oil market.

Question 3: So is Trump really the mastermind of insider trading?

answer: Some analysts consider this a clear sign of insider trading because the matching of timed trading and confidential information seems suspicious, but others say that traders have now understood Trump’s unpredictable style, so they take positions in advance. Nevertheless, the pattern has been repeated so much that the demand for investigation has increased.

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has started an investigation into oil futures trades ahead of the March 2026 Iran policy shift (March 23 and April 7). The trades done on CME Group and ICE platforms are being investigated. Some senior Democratic lawmakers wrote a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) demanding an investigation. The White House had warned staff not to engage in insider trading, but no concrete evidence or arrests have been made so far.

Question 4: What is its impact on common investors and the market?

answer: The biggest impact of insider trading is that equality is being lost in the market. Some select traders receive confidential information before Trump’s announcement, allowing them to place huge bets minutes or hours in advance. Due to this, questions are being raised on the transparency and fairness of the market.

Common people think that the market is already decided. Big players are playing with inside information, while small investors only suffer losses. This puts an end to equality in the market. Such patterns shake the confidence of investors as they feel they do not have a level playing field.

The overall effect on the market is that volatility has increased. The sudden rise and fall in both oil and stocks increases volatility, which also affects the economy. Impact on inflation, oil prices, shares of companies and even the pockets of the common man.

Experts say that even if insider trading is not proven every time, the mere ‘show’ is enough to break the trust of investors. The market has now started looking more risky for small traders, due to which many people have started staying away or become cautious.

Question 5: What can happen next in this case?

answer: No concrete evidence or arrest has been made yet, but the investigation has intensified. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has started an investigation into oil futures trades ahead of the March 2026 Iran policy change. This investigation focuses on trades on the CME Group and ICE platforms, where trades worth millions of dollars took place minutes before.

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig clearly said in a congressional committee on April 16, 2026, ‘Whoever commits fraud, manipulation or insider trading, we will find him and apply the full force of the law against him.’ He told that the CFTC has hundreds or thousands of ongoing investigations and insider trading is now their top priority.

Experts predict that legal action will be taken if evidence is found, but Professor Paul Oden of ESSEC Business School says that it is very difficult to prove. If financial authorities cannot find out who is the source of the information, they will not prosecute. Still, the pattern is so clear that hearings in Congress can continue and new rules and regulations can be made. If anything wrong is found in the investigation, political pressure will increase on the Trump administration.

Juko Godlimpi, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Trade and Industry of South Africa, said on Monday (March 9, 2026) that India has played an important role in the reconstruction of the post-World War II world order which is now on the verge of collapse. He said this while addressing a gathering of industry leaders, academicians and policy-makers in Pretoria.

Godlimpi addressed the second annual India-South Africa Business Summit organized by the Indian High Commission and II-India Business Forum. The South African minister said that two years after the end of the Second World War, independent India was born within the framework of the global trading system which was created by the Western countries.

He said, ‘India is an emerging democracy in a world being shaped by major powers.’ On India’s plans to become a major global power by 2047, the centenary of its independence, the minister said that India is now in a different and special situation. He said, ‘India will find itself in a situation where instead of merely following the existing global order, it will also assume the responsibility of playing the role of co-creator of a new global order.’

He said, ‘India had emerged as a supporting partner in that system after the Second World War, but now it has to face the reality that it is in a situation where it will have to play the role of a main partner in rebuilding that system, because that system is now on the verge of collapse.’

Godlimpi said that India and South Africa are not just trading partners. Juko Godlimpi said, ‘We are strategic partners in development, industrialization and global economic recovery.’ He quipped that these two countries are called Terrible Twins in the World Trade Organization (WTO) because their representatives are always vocal in bringing changes in the interests of the Global South.

He said, ‘In all discussions related to global development, South Africa and India support a strategic vision of the Global South based on the principles of fair and equitable international trade and also emphasize that the views of developing countries should be taken as seriously as the views of countries with greater economic power.’

The recent decision of the US Supreme Court has created a huge twist in the global markets. The court declared the global tariffs imposed by Donald Trump illegal, which initially brought some relief to trade tensions. But soon after that Trump signed a new 10% global tariff on all countries, due to which uncertainty still remains high. Now if the restrictions are reduced, then the products can become more competitive in the US market for Indian exporters, which can increase the chances of profits and growth.

The Supreme Court of the United States has declared tariffs worth about $175 billion imposed by former President Donald Trump illegal. These tariffs were imposed under emergency economic law. Now the big question is – how will the companies get the refund? Will the money be returned automatically or will every importer have to go to court? The case will now go to the United States Court of International Trade, which will decide the refund process. More than 1,000 companies have already filed lawsuits. Legal costs can become a big challenge for small businesses. Understand the whole situation in simple language in this video.
