The morning read.

Elsewhere, a Trump AI policy market surged 35 points to 54% on $97K of volume, with California announcing a "kill switch" executive order and union pushback making headlines. The move has no clear catalyst in federal policy: the crowd may be front-running an announcement, or simply reacting to state-level momentum.

The most interesting gap today is in geopolitics. A thin market on US-Iran diplomatic meetings jumped 33 points to 62% on just $21K of volume, while news feeds show Trump rejecting Iran's ceasefire proposal. Al Jazeera and Al-Monitor both report diplomatic deadlock, yet the market is pricing a 62% chance of senior talks by October 31. Either the crowd sees a path to dialogue that reporters don't, or this is noise in a low-liquidity book. Oil markets dropped 23 points to 19% on the question of WTI hitting $90 in September, even as Euronews reports oil prices jumping after Trump's rejection. The money is saying energy risk is contained. News is saying the opposite.
