Mid-week Polymarket market
Thank you Polymarket for sponsoring the mid-week macro. Today’s market looks at who the leader of Venezuela will be at the end of 2026. Delcy Rodriguez is at 50% at the time of writing this. I think this is undervalued as I don’t see significant regime change happening in 2026, Maduro won’t be back and the US will have likely learnt its lessons from Iraq
