Yoteki analysis

Political markets react quickly to polls, endorsements, legal steps, campaign calendars, and personnel signals. The useful filter is whether a report changes coalition math or procedure; isolated commentary can move attention without changing the outcome path.

My view

My view is that the market should wait for confirmation from multiple indicators before making a large move. A single headline matters less than repeated polling movement, formal decisions, or a clear change in incentives.
