The Dallas Fed\u2019s Weekly Economic Index (WEI) has averaged 2.69% across the past six prints, with just one of those readings coming in above the tall bar of 3%. Furthermore, the 3% level was conquered only once in 2025 and four times year to date in 2026. Meanwhile, the three most recent releases have arrived beneath 3% while sporting a mean of 2.64%, while labor conditions, a critical variable in the indicator\u2019s calculation, have shown evidence signaling deceleration. Against this backdrop I think the $0.71 \u201cNo\u201d Interactive Brokers Prediction Markets contract <\/a>is undervalued as it should cost closer to $0.87. Over and under, the \u201cNos\u201d at 3.2%, 2.8%, 2.6% and 2.4% are going for $0.86, $0.53, $0.35 and $0.18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
