"I think Anthropic is still gonna get out... And then Anthropic goes out, doesn't delay, goes out. If I were Dario, I'd wanna be like, 'I'm on top, bitch. I'm going public.'"

Susan Glasser

Glasser predicts the US-Iran ceasefire will not produce a durable agreement, saying long-term stable peace between the US and Iran is very unlikely.

A soft June jobs report led investors to see a July Fed rate hike as unlikely (~20% odds), i.e. the Fed is expected not to raise rates at its late-July meeting.
"The softer June jobs report made investors think that the Fed is less likely to raise interest rates at its meeting later this month. They now put the odds of a July rate hike at about twenty percent."

BET YESKalshi ↗
YES costs 94¢$100$106 if speaker is right
Will the Federal Reserve Hike rates by 0bps at their July 2026 meeting?
Why this side: Investors price only ~20% odds of a July hike, so a hold (Hike 0bps) is the expected base case; proxy because 'no hike' also technically includes a rate cut, which this leg would resolve NO.
Low volume · closes 2026-07-29 · KXFEDDECISION-26JUL-H0
If the Federal Reserve does a Hike of 0bps on July 29, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
