Odds that Washington will reopen by this Friday the 14th traded at a low of just 40% yesterday before soaring to a fresh high of <a href=\"https:\/\/forecasttrader.interactivebrokers.com\/eventtrader\/?loginType=1&amp;forwardTo=100&amp;clt=0&amp;ip2loc=OFF#\/market-details?id=819396926%7C20251114%7C1%7C&amp;detail=contract_details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">95%<\/a> earlier today. Enthusiasm has tempered modestly, however, as traders priced in the subdued chance that the final bill could fail in the House of Representatives after experiencing success in the upper chamber. Indeed, it was a few Senate Democrats deciding to support the GOP\u2019s proposed agreement that is bolstering the probability of an imminent resumption, which now stands at an elevated 87%. Trading has been heavily active in these instruments, as north of 70,000 contracts are currently open that are tied to a settlement by this Friday or seven days later on Nov. 21.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"505\" height=\"220\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Picture2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234163 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Picture2-2.jpg 505w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Picture2-2-300x131.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 505px; aspect-ratio: 505\/220;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-us-gas-prices-below-3-10\"><strong>US Gas Prices Below $3.10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s highly unlikely that gasoline prices rose from $3.019 to $3.10 in just a few days, a sharp climb requiring an $0.081 or 2.68% increase in just seven days. Advances exceeding 8 cents are rare, occurring just once this year and in 2024. Meanwhile, trading in gasoline and crude oil futures don\u2019t support a jump of that magnitude, since the former\u2019s performance is approximately +1.9% during the period while the latter is -1.8%. Furthermore, movements in those markets are more volatile than retail gasoline prices and adds credence to the belief that the <a
