Someone on Polymarket is betting that Trump will nominate Powell to continue as Fed Chair.
Yep, you read that right.
In the topic 'Who will Trump nominate as Fed Chair?', aside from Kevin Warsh leading with 59%, there’s a bunch of ridiculous options.
Powell continuing his term? 0.1% probability, with over $700 bet on it.
Trump himself? No one’s buying it, but it’s still listed.
That $700 is probably someone treating it like a lottery ticket.
Spend a few hundred bucks—what if Trump really goes rogue? The odds are high, and if it hits, it’s a 100x payout.
The fun part about prediction markets is seeing how much money is on those 'impossible' options.
What does $700 say? It says at least a small group of people think Powell’s reappointment isn’t a complete zero-probability event.
Or it says there’s never a shortage of people willing to gamble on a lottery.
Would you spend a few bucks to bet on a 0.1% option?
