While global warming is a hot topic, betting on specific monthly temperature anomalies (down to 0.01 degrees) is a niche scientific data prediction, less common than elections or sports, but standard for climate watchers.

May 2, 2026 - May 3, 2026, the price of the 1.10–1.14ºC bracket fell from 33.5c to 19c, as nearing settlement data further solidified expectations of a temperature anomaly above 1.15ºC, reducing the probability of the lower bracket. April 27, 2026 - April 29, 2026, the price of the 1.15–1.19ºC bracket surged from 51.5c to 67.5c, while the 1.10–1.14ºC price plunged from 32.5c to 19.5c, as more definitive preliminary observational data near month-end heavily concentrated market consensus into the 1.15-1.19ºC range. April 19, 2026 - April 22, 2026, the price of the 1.15–1.19ºC bracket rose from 53.5c to 60.5c, while the 1.20–1.24ºC price fell from 23.5c to 18.5c, as late-month climate models and preliminary observational data made the market more confident that the temperature anomaly will land in the 1.15-1.19ºC range. April 12, 2026 - April 15, 2026, the price of the 1.15–1.19ºC bracket surged from 28c to 45.5c, as clearer mid-April climate data prompted heavy capital inflows into this most probable temperature range. April 12, 2026 - April 15, 2026, the price of the 1.25–1.29ºC bracket plummeted from 18c to 8c, as recent data significantly reduced the probability of extreme high temperatures (>1.25ºC). April 4, 2026 - April 5, 2026, the price of the 1.20–1.24ºC option surged from 28.5c to 39.5c, driven by changing market expectations or preliminary data signaling anomalously high April temperatures, causing a rapid inflow of capital into this bracket.

The resolution strictly locks onto the first published preliminary data and ignores all subsequent revisions, potentially causing deviations from the final actual tornado count. A more significant trap is the fallback clause: if the data is delayed beyond the next scheduled publication, the market resolves based on the 'most recent prior month' (March), completely altering the market's original intent of predicting April's count.

Predicting the exact number of tornadoes in a specific month falls into the category of weather derivatives. While familiar to meteorologists and insurance/agriculture professionals, it remains relatively niche and somewhat novel for general prediction market participants.

May 1, 2026 - May 3, 2026, the 260–289 option retreated sharply from a peak of 81c to 42c, while the 290–319 option rebounded to 50.35c, and 320-350 stabilized at 20.25c. This occurred as the aggregated end-of-April preliminary storm reports renewed the probability that the final count would cross into a higher bracket. April 24, 2026 - April 25, 2026, the 260-289 option price surged from 12c to 32.5c due to dense storm reports in late April significantly increasing the probability of this range. April 22, 2026 - April 23, 2026, the 350+ option price skyrocketed from 12.1c to 39.05c, driven by major severe convective weather warnings in the Midwest and Southern Plains. April 23, 2026 - April 24, 2026, the 170-199 option jumped from 2.9c to 21.9c, reflecting market hedging across different ranges amid forecast model disagreements. April 7, 2026 - April 9, 2026, the price of the 290-319 option surged from 6c to 18.5c, likely due to updated meteorological models indicating an increased risk of severe convective weather and storm outbreaks in the Central/Southern US during the mid-to-late month.

Moderate risk. While there is a clear deadline (May 15, 2026), the rule stating the article 'need not be explicitly titled' the same and relies on finding an 'equivalent list' introduces subjective interpretation. If Vogue alters its editorial format, splits the list into multiple thematic articles, or publishes a non-traditional format, it could create settlement disputes.

The event focuses on pop culture and fashion magazine editorial choices. While predicting red carpet best-dressed lists is a fun novelty topic for entertainment fans, it is moderately niche and entertainment-driven compared to mainstream political or financial forecasting, though not bizarrely out of the ordinary.

April 30, 2026 - May 2, 2026, the prices of multiple options such as Beyoncé, Anna Wintour, and Emma Chamberlain experienced violent fluctuations of over 30c. For instance, Beyoncé's price surged from 49c to 88c, then dropped significantly before rebounding to 81.5c; Anna Wintour's price experienced multiple massive swings between 26c and 80.5c. The reason is that as the Met Gala approaches, a barrage of social media rumors and insider leaks regarding their final attendance has triggered extremely frequent speculative trading.

This event is directly tied to the quarterly earnings performance of Microchip Technology (MCHP). An earnings beat or miss will directly cause significant volatility in its stock price (Impact Score of 4). Additionally, as MCHP is part of the semiconductor sector, its results might have a minor impact on the Nasdaq 100, but the primary shock is concentrated on the individual stock. Therefore, it holds significant hedging value.

From April 29, 2026, to May 2, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 49.5c to 95.5c.

From April 29, 2026, to April 30, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 49.5c to 77.5c, likely because new capital entered the market betting on an earnings beat as the release date approaches, causing a significant price increase. From April 27, 2026, to April 28, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' dropped sharply from 72.0c to 50.5c, possibly due to a reassessment of the earnings outlook or profit-taking by early investors. From April 25, 2026, to April 26, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' spiked from 50.5c to 74.0c, potentially driven by initial market build-up or favorable industry news boosting bullish sentiment.

2026-04-30 to 2026-05-01, the price of Option_'Yes' rebounded from 61.5c to 82.5c, likely due to returning pre-earnings optimism or positive read-throughs from peers. 2026-04-28 to 2026-04-29, the price of Option_'Yes' dropped from 88.5c to 51.5c, possibly due to profit-taking or weakening broader market sentiment. 2026-04-27 to 2026-04-28, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 58.5c to 88.5c, reflecting strong market expectations for an earnings beat.

The direct underlying asset, Trade Desk (TTD), typically experiences severe stock price volatility (often exceeding 10%) following earnings releases, resulting in a high impact score for the individual stock. While its performance as an ad-tech leader can influence tech sentiment slightly, it is not large enough to cause significant trend movements in broad indices like the Nasdaq 100.

April 29, 2026 - May 1, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 51c to 91.5c before slightly retreating to around 85c.

It surged from 56.5c on the 27th to 83c on the 28th, dropped to 51c on the 29th, and spiked again to 83.5c on the 30th. This heavy fluctuation is likely driven by intense speculation and conflicting data points regarding industry-wide ad spend as the earnings date approaches.

Cloudflare's earnings result will directly trigger significant volatility in its stock (NET), which typically moves well over 5% on earnings day, making it highly tradable and relevant for hedging. However, due to its limited market cap, the impact on broad indices like the Nasdaq 100 is negligible.

April 30, 2026 - May 2, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' steadily climbed from 81.0c to 94.0c, as market confidence in Cloudflare beating earnings estimates strengthened further with the approaching earnings date, leading to continuous buying pressure. April 28, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 50.0c to 88.0c, as market confidence in Cloudflare's ability to beat earnings estimates was rapidly restored after a brief pessimistic dip. April 27, 2026 - April 28, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' plunged from 87.5c to 50.0c, likely due to short-term liquidity fluctuations in the prediction market or significant unwinding by traders reacting to broader macroeconomic tech sentiment.

The event directly predicts Rocket Lab's quarterly earnings performance, and the outcome will directly trigger significant volatility in RKLB's stock price (typically involving a price gap post-earnings), making it a highly direct hedging tool.

From 2026-04-29 to 2026-04-30, the price of Option_'Yes' plunged from 75.5c to 55.5c, likely due to early profit-taking and the market reassessing the actual difficulty of an earnings beat. From 2026-04-28 to 2026-04-29, the price of Option_'Yes' spiked from 51c to 75.5c, potentially driven by positive sector news or a sudden influx of large speculative bets. From 2026-04-27 to 2026-04-28, the price dropped from 74c to 51c, reflecting extreme volatility in a thin liquidity environment. From 2026-04-26 to 2026-04-27, the price rose from 57.5c to 74c, likely fueled by speculative buying.

The earnings result directly dictates the price action of BuzzFeed (BZFD) stock. As a small-cap company, an EPS beat or miss typically triggers double-digit percentage price swings, offering direct hedging value, though it has zero impact on broader market indices.

April 29, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' plunged from 52c to 20c, likely due to continued pessimistic expectations regarding the company's fundamentals and risk-aversion positioning as earnings approach. April 27, 2026 - April 28, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 31c to 50c, potentially driven by short-term speculative buying or rumors regarding cost-cutting measures.

April 30, 2026 - May 2, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' fluctuated and dropped from 44.5c to 36c. This is likely due to investors' waning confidence in an earnings beat as the reporting date approaches, or dragged down by overall negative sentiment in the real estate sector. April 28, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 48.5c to 75.5c and then quickly fell back to 43.5c. This may have been caused by short-term speculation or fat-finger errors affecting market liquidity, after which the price returned to rational expectations.

Earnings results directly dictate the short-term price action of Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) stock. An earnings beat or miss typically causes a gap-up or gap-down of around 5%, presenting significant tradability and direct hedging value for the specific equity. Impact on broader market indices is negligible due to the company's size.

In the past 3 days, there have been extreme price movements exceeding 10c for this option.

The event directly predicts Draftkings's (DKNG) quarterly earnings (whether EPS beats consensus). An earnings beat or miss typically causes significant stock price movement for the specific company (usually between 5%-15%, corresponding to an impact score of 4). Meanwhile, as a mid-cap/growth stock, its earnings have a negligible impact on broader market indices like the Russell 2000 or S&P 500.

April 26, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' plunged from 73.5c to 39c. This was driven by Wall Street downgrades (e.g., MoffettNathanson) citing competitive threats from prediction markets, which caused a sharp decline in the stock price and heightened fears that the company will miss its quarterly earnings estimates. The price has since stabilized around 39c to 42c.

ICU Medical's quarterly earnings results will directly cause significant price volatility in its own stock (ICUI), typically driving medium to high percentage moves. However, due to the company's size, the impact on broader market indices like the S&P 500 is negligible.

May 1, 2026 - May 2, 2026: The price of Option_'Yes' surged from 81c to 92.5c (before settling at 88.5c). The reason is that as the May 7 earnings release date approaches, market confidence in an earnings beat has further strengthened, strongly supported by Wall Street analysts' consensus estimate of $1.78-$1.80. April 29, 2026 - April 30, 2026: The price of Option_'Yes' surged from 50c to 81c. The reason is a rapid price correction ahead of the earnings release, aligning back with the generally high Wall Street earnings beat rates after a temporary liquidity gap or overselling. April 27, 2026 - April 28, 2026: The price of Option_'Yes' plunged from 82.5c to 50c. The likely reason was a low-liquidity sell-off in the prediction market or traders reducing exposure to hedge against uncertainty.

This event directly concerns the quarterly earnings performance of Consolidated Edison (ED). A non-GAAP EPS beat typically causes a moderate price movement in the individual stock (generally around 3-5%), making it a tradable event with significant hedging value.

May 1, 2026 - May 3, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 77.5c to a peak of 95.5c before settling at 90.5c, driven by surging investor confidence in an earnings beat as the release date approaches, causing heavy inflows into the Yes option. April 30, 2026 - May 1, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 77.5c to 90c. The reason is that as the earnings release approaches, market confidence in an earnings beat strengthened, pushing the price higher.

This event is directly tied to the quarterly earnings performance of Akamai Technologies (AKAM). Whether the EPS beats consensus will immediately dictate the stock's after-hours and next-day price action, typically causing a medium-level tradable gap (~5%), making it a direct hedging instrument.

From April 29, 2026 to April 30, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' surged from 50.5c to 91.5c and has sustained around 93.5c, likely reflecting extreme market optimism regarding Akamai's earnings beat or large positions being established by insiders. From April 27, 2026 to April 28, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' spiked from 30c to 83.5c before pulling back, indicating severe volatility in market expectations ahead of the earnings release.

The prediction market currently prices the probability of Akamai beating earnings estimates at an overwhelming 93.5%. This is significantly higher than the historical base rate for tech earnings beats (which typically ranges between 60%-80%). This divergence suggests that prediction market traders may be overly optimistic due to a specific undisclosed catalyst or recent industry trends.
