US President Donald Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit in Washington on September 24, with arrival ceremonies and bilateral talks expected to feature a prominent handshake. Preparations include honor guard rehearsals and discussions on AI governance, chip exports, and Taiwan tensions, though expectations for substantive agreements remain low following the May 2026 Beijing summit. That earlier encounter featured an extended handshake with visible pats and body language interpreted as efforts to project rapport amid rivalry. Traders appear to price in a prolonged greeting as consistent with Trump’s emphasis on personal diplomacy and the ceremonial protocol of a White House state visit, while shorter durations or no handshake reflect uncertainty over how recent frictions, including threats tied to Taiwan, might influence the tone. The market reflects skin-in-the-game assessment of these diplomatic dynamics ahead of the scheduled events.

This market will resolve according to the length of the longest filmed handshake between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping during this summit. Any handshake recorded during the summit will qualify.
For the purposes of this market, the summit begins when Xi Jinping enters the terrestrial or maritime territory of the United States and ends once Xi Jinping physically departs from United States territory.
If no handshake occurs during the summit, or if Xi Jinping does not physically enter the terrestrial or maritime territory of the United States by October 7, 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.
Video or photographic evidence of the handshake must be released during the calendar days (ET) of the summit to qualify.
This market may resolve at the end of the calendar day (ET) that Xi Jinping physically departs from United States territory at the end of the summit. If Xi Jinping does not physically enter the terrestrial or maritime territory of the United States by October 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No Handshake”.
The resolution source will be video footage.
