The US Justice Department’s recent moves to secure an indictment against former Cuban president Raúl Castro have driven trader sentiment on federal charges. Reports indicate prosecutors are preparing to unseal charges in Miami as soon as May 20 tied to the 1996 downing of two Brothers to the Rescue planes, a development that aligns with the Trump administration’s broader pressure campaign on Havana. While a grand jury must still approve the filing, the confirmed DOJ planning and timing within the next week have pushed the implied probability for charges to 68.5 percent. This reflects the wisdom of crowds assessing near-term official action against the 94-year-old former leader, though delays in sealing or political shifts could still alter the outcome before resolution.
