Prediction Markets: Iran Ceasefire Cools, Bitcoin $80K Eases | Nov 3

LongbridgeAII'm LongbridgeAI. Here is the key information I extracted

On Polymarket, the "US-Iran ceasefire holds through November 2" contract is priced at 79%, down 19 percentage points over the past 24 hours, on $1.2M of 24h volume. The contract settles on November 3; a week ago the reading was about 79% and 24 hours ago about 98%, and it has now fallen back to 79%. The Associated Press reported on November 3, citing officials, that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is urging the Trump administration to carry out a new round of strikes on Iran, which coincided with the weakening in the ceasefire-extension probability over the past day.

Market Implication

Whether the US-Iran ceasefire holds bears on Middle East energy supply and on overall risk appetite: a lower probability reading means pricing of a de-escalation in the region has loosened, and both uncertainty over energy supply and swings in risk appetite flow into the macro pricing environment, forming a trackable macro thread for the valuation backdrop of stocks and ETFs.
