Watching Polymarket's CPI bets given recent job numbers
It's interesting to see how the Polymarket contracts for next CPI are moving. With the latest jobless claims coming in lower than expected, I'm curious if we'll see the 'higher for longer' narrative solidify further, which could push those 'CPI above 3.5%' contracts even higher. It makes me wonder about the broader impact on commodities too, like if $CORN 17.65 sees continued pressure or if we get a bounce.

The connection between weekly jobless claims and Polymarket's CPI contracts seems a bit indirect for a definitive 'higher for longer' take. Commodity prices like corn often have their own set of drivers beyond general inflation sentiment.
