Analysis of the Day
Will United Russia (ER) gain the most seats in the next Russian parliamentary election? Resolves in 3 weeks · $9.2M lifetime volume | YES 72% |
United Russia has dominated every Russian parliamentary election since 2003, controlling the State Duma with supermajorities, and the 2026 election takes place in a wartime political environment where opposition parties remain suppressed, independent candidates face severe legal barriers, and state media infrastructure overwhelmingly favors the ruling party, structural conditions that make any other party topping the seat count essentially implausible. The only realistic scenario for NO resolution would be a dramatic political collapse or regime change before September 2026, for which there is no signal in the available data.

Tom Rothman on Sony’s ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Blockbuster Success, Being Outbid for ‘Obsession’ and More
Sony's Tom Rothman used a Lumière Summit appearance to tout 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' as 2026's highest-grossing film to date, while conceding Sony was outbid for 'Obsession.' The market on the film landing the year's second-best domestic opening weekend drifts -8pp to 41% Yes. Rothman's framing (top-grossing, not top-opening) reads as tacit confirmation the opening-weekend crown is out of reach.
