it probably technically wouldn't be insider trading in the US but I think the laws may be different in Europe.

It’s not insider trading as there is no material non-public information involved. Were the information false, it would likely be actionable market manipulation. But because the information was true, from the perspective of the authorities nothing wrong here.

On the other hand, there may be ethical (but not legal) issues from the perspective of the publisher.
