Every day we publish three analyses — politics, finance and sports — based on the most popular Polymarket events and verified sources.
Polymarket assigns a 57.5% probability that WTI crude hits $85 in July 2026. We estimate a 69% chance as supply recovery, weak Chinese demand, and OPEC+ output increases push prices lower. The Strait of Hormuz reopening is the key driver.

Polymarket gives a 0.3% probability that Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal (7-day moving average ≥60 transit calls) by July 15. Renewed US-Iran strikes and vessel attacks have kept traffic low. Our analysis strongly agrees: the outcome is 'No'.

The Polymarket for the 2028 Republican presidential nominee shows Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading with 49% probability, followed by J.D. Vance at 41.5%. Our analysis suggests Vance is the most likely winner due to Trump's endorsement and institutional support, despite RFK Jr.'s current market lead.
