What it means for prediction markets
- The tracker shows rising trading activity and open interest as the November 3 elections approach, but the aggregate figures do not establish which party or candidates traders favor.
- The 24-hour total spans Senate, House and chamber-control markets; the supplied figures do not break down activity by individual race or market.
- Contract counts measure activity, not election probabilities. The update provides no prices from which to assess changes in implied odds.
