Trader consensus favors a prolonged 15+ second handshake at 36.5% for the anticipated Trump-Xi summit rescheduled for May 14-15 in Beijing, reflecting their history of extended greetings, including a viral 27-second clasp at the 2025 APEC summit in Busan that underscored personal rapport amid trade truce talks. The prior March meeting was delayed due to the US-Israel conflict with Iran, heightening focus on bilateral diplomacy, security challenges, and economic stability, yet boosting expectations for a camera-friendly photo op. Shorter durations trail as traders weigh leaders' established dynamic against protocol in high-stakes summits, with no-handshake odds low given confirmed hosting preparations.

This market will resolve according to the length of the longest filmed handshake between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping during the day of their next meeting in 2026 (in the local timezone of the location of their next meeting). Any handshake recorded on that date will qualify.
If no handshake occurs during the date of their next meeting, or if no meeting takes place by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No Handshake”.
If a handshake is photographed but not captured on video, this market will resolve to "Photographed only".
Duration will be measured from the exact moment their hands make initial physical contact until the exact moment either breaks contact.
If the measured duration falls exactly on the boundary between two duration brackets, this market will resolve to the higher bracket.
Qualifying Requirements:
The handshake must be voluntary, intentional, and in person.
Direct hand-to-hand contact is required (gloves or mittens are permitted).
The handshake must be clearly visible on video from start to finish.
Non-qualifying examples:
Fist bumps, hugs, waves, or other non-handshake greetings.
Any handshake that is too unclear to measure.
Only photographic evidence exists without a way to measure duration.
The resolution source will be video footage.Trader consensus favors a prolonged 15+ second handshake at 36.5% for the anticipated Trump-Xi summit rescheduled for May 14-15 in Beijing, reflecting their history of extended greetings, including a viral 27-second clasp at the 2025 APEC summit in Busan that underscored personal rapport amid trade truce talks.
