If this universe contains agents who engage in acausal trade, does that make it partially acausal?

By 'acausal trade', do you mean:

Trading based on a present expectation of the future (such as trading in pork futures)

The first is causal (but does not preclude the possibility of the universe containing other acausal effects), the second is acausal.
