According to Bloomberg, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is conducting an extensive investigation into prediction market platform Polymarket, covering areas such as social media activity and fake transactions. Polymarket hired dozens of college-aged creators to film videos of simulated trading to attract users. The CFTC and the Department of Justice had previously concluded an investigation into whether Polymarket violated the ban on US users, as some US users accessed the platform via VPN. Since reaching a settlement with the CFTC in 2022, Polymarket has prohibited US users from accessing its main platform and is currently taking steps to reintroduce the main exchange into the US and working with the CFTC to lift the ban.

Since 1945, the S&P 500 has experienced 12 bear markets with declines of over 20% and 4 deep corrections ranging from 18% to 20%. Among them, six occurred directly after interest rate hikes that triggered economic recessions, while two other cases had no relation to either rate hikes or recessions. Goldman Sachs believes that the market has already priced in multiple rate hike expectations; Morgan Stanley warns that rising yields could trigger a market correction; JPMorgan is more focused on oil prices and corporate earnings.
