Analysis
This reflects the estimated probability that Rick Rieder will be Trump's next Federal Reserve Board nominee, currently at 24% as the leading candidate in a four-outcome prediction market. The probability is driven by Rieder's background in finance and prior policy discussions, though he faces competition from other potential nominees like Stephen Miran and Kevin Hassett. The main factors affecting this probability are shifts in Trump's economic policy priorities, any public statements signaling his Federal Reserve appointment strategy, and developments in the broader political and economic environment that might make certain candidates more or less attractive. Resolution will occur when Trump either makes a public nomination announcement or the window for such appointments closes. Until then, the probability reflects genuine uncertainty about Trump's final selection from the candidate pool.

How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
