Donald Trump visiting China by May 15 is priced at 91¢ (+1¢) and by May 31 at 95¢ (+2¢) — extremely high conviction. This would be the most consequential US-China diplomatic engagement since Xi's reelection. Markets are pricing this as a near-certainty.

All Trump-China visit contracts surged simultaneously today — May 31 +8¢ to 78¢, May 15 +3¢ to 61¢, June 30 +3¢ to 85¢. A coordinated move across multiple timeframes signals new information about an imminent Trump-Xi summit, which would be the most significant diplomatic event of 2026.
Trump China Visit Timeline Pushed Back — May 15 Contract Drops 7¢
The Trump China visit by May 15 contract dropped -7¢ to 59¢ while the May 31 version fell -5¢ to 69¢. Despite the June 30 contract still at 80¢, short-term visit probability is fading, creating potential arbitrage between near-term and longer-dated contracts.
