Political betting markets poised to grow as Polymarket returns to the U.S.

Political betting markets poised to grow as Polymarket returns to the U.S.

Yahoo22-07-2025
Get ready for a possible U.S. explosion in political wagering. The prediction market Polymarket announced Monday it has acquired an exchange that will allow it to re-enter the United States as a 'fully regulated and compliant platform.' They'll join competitors like Kalshi in a growing industry, which allow people to trade on their predictions, including the big political talkers of the day. 'Right now, this is everyone's best guess, right? But as these markets move— and they can move 24 hours a day— we can get some insight into whether or not something's going to happen,' Scott Tranter, Data Science Director at Decision Desk HQ, told me. It's believed north of $3 billion was wagered on the 2024 presidential race. You can imagine a world that soon exists where the prediction markets are cited as frequently as the polls, following the billions of dollars likely to come.

Ford says Trump tariffs to cost it about $2bn this year

Motor industry giant Ford says it expects tariffs to cost it about $2bn (£1.5bn) this year, which is more than previously expected, despite building most of its cars in America. The company says it had already paid an extra $800m in duties in the three months ending in June. It also suffered losses related to cutting an electric vehicle programme. It is the latest indication of the impact of US President Donald Trump's tariffs on major American firms and the challenges ahead as he seeks to reshape global supply chains. But Ford is seeing a less pronounced tariffs impact than some of its competitors as much of its manufacturing is in the US. Ford's finance chief Sherry House said the firm had raised its forecast for the cost of tariffs on its business because levies on Mexico and Canada, where it has facilities, have remained higher for longer than expected. She also pointed to US tariffs on imported aluminium and steel. Last week, rival carmaker General Motors said tariffs had already cost it more than $1bn, while Volkswagen put its hit at $1.5bn. Jim Farley, Ford's chief executive, said the firm is in regular contact with the White House as the company tries to secure lower tariffs, especially on vehicle parts. "We see there's a lot of upside depending on how the negotiation goes with the administration," he said. Trump has raised duties on most goods, with special tariffs targeting cars and car parts, as well as the key materials used to manufacture them. He has said the measures are intended to convince companies, in the US and abroad, to make their products in America. Ford's shares were about 1.5% lower in extended trading in New York on Wednesday after the earnings announcement. 擷取數據時發生錯誤 登入存取你的投資組合 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤
