Wednesday’s news increases the odds of yet another fall election, at least according to the online predictions market. Traders on crypto-based betting platform Polymarket were especially bullish about the prospect of a fall election on Friday afternoon.
After opening the day at a meagre five cents, a Polymarket listing for a fall election surged to 59 cents minutes after the NDP’s 1 p.m. ET announcement, indicating a 59 per cent chance of a federal election before the end of 2024. The ‘irrational exuberance’ of bettors calmed down somewhat later in the afternoon, with the listing price settling around the 15 cent mark near close — still a tripling from the start of the day.
