Insider trading ahead of government headlines?

Given the volatility in the last few weeks I have a big suspicion there is some collusion going on between top institutions and the highest government officials. For example:

  • The big sell-off in the 1st week of February came a week ahead of Trump's statements on trade and tariffs. In fact, it was reported Carl Icahn dumped millions in shares of steel companies before trump's announcement. Many have said this decline was triggered by expectation of a hawkish 2018, but that was the expectation for months already, so it's quite hard to believe investors suddenly "woke up".

  • Today, stocks were poised to continue their decline in light of Trump's trade war comments, however the market suddenly started raising, and quite powerfully. Then, at noon, we see headlines of Paul Ryan's split with Trump over tariffs.

Is this all coincidence or are high government figures feeding information to big investors?
