Prediction markets now price a 95% chance that Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the White House before October 1, according to journalist Kellie Meyer. President Donald Trump has publicly invited Xi to a meeting on September 24, though Beijing has not yet confirmed the trip.
Xi Jinping is reportedly scheduled to visit the White House later this month, journalist Kellie Meyer said on Saturday. The visit is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts between the United States and China, amid tensions over trade and technology.
Trump extended a public invitation for Xi to meet on September 24, but official confirmation from China is still pending. The visit would signify potential progress in relations between the two countries as they navigate complex geopolitical challenges.
Odds for a visit by September 24 rose from 88% to 91.5% over the past week, which appears to have reinforced market sentiment. Markets currently price a 95% chance of a visit by October 1. Confidence in a visit before the end of 2026 remains high, with a 97.9% likelihood of such an event.
Traders will watch for any official announcement from the Chinese government on Xi's travel plans, as well as developments in U.S.-China trade negotiations or statements from U.S. National Security Council members and China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A confirmed visit could serve as a critical indicator of a potential shift in bilateral relations.
