Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the Dashboard

What is the CountryETFTracker's Polymarket Situation Room?

The CountryETFTracker's Polymarket Situation Room is a real-time monitoring tool that tracks prediction market probabilities across key macro themes, including Federal Reserve policy, inflation expectations, recession risks, and geopolitical events such as the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz crisis.

What data source powers the dashboard?

The dashboard uses live data from Polymarket via the Gamma API, aggregating prediction market odds and trading volumes to reflect how market participants are pricing future economic and geopolitical outcomes.

How should I interpret prediction market probabilities?

Prediction market probabilities reflect the collective expectations of traders based on real money positioning. A "Yes" probability of 30% implies the market assigns a 30% chance to that event occurring. These probabilities update continuously as new information is priced in.

Are prediction markets more reliable than traditional forecasts?

Prediction markets are often more dynamic than traditional forecasts because they incorporate real-time information and financial incentives. However, they are not always correct — they reflect sentiment and positioning, not certainty.

Geopolitics & Energy

What are the key geopolitical risks tracked on the dashboard?

The dashboard tracks major geopolitical developments, including:

U.S.-Iran ceasefire probabilities
Strait of Hormuz traffic normalization
Risks to key oil infrastructure such as Kharg Island
U.S. military involvement in the Middle East

These indicators help assess global energy and market risks.

Why is the Strait of Hormuz important for markets?

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints, with roughly 20% of global oil flows passing through it. Disruptions can significantly impact oil prices, inflation, and global financial markets.

What does the dashboard say about a U.S.-Iran ceasefire?

Current prediction market data suggests that a near-term ceasefire is not the base case. Probabilities for a resolution remain relatively low in the short term, indicating that markets expect tensions to persist.

Macro & Investing

How does Federal Reserve policy data help investors?

The dashboard tracks probabilities of rate cuts, hikes, or pauses across upcoming Federal Reserve meetings. This helps investors understand market expectations for interest rates, which influence equities, bonds, currencies, and global capital flows.

What insights does the dashboard provide on inflation and recession risks?

The dashboard aggregates market-implied probabilities for U.S. inflation scenarios and recession risks through 2026. These indicators help investors assess macroeconomic trends and potential turning points in the business cycle.

How do geopolitical scenarios impact country ETFs?

The dashboard maps macro scenarios to country ETF performance. For example:

Oil shocks tend to benefit energy-exporting countries like Norway (ENOR) and Saudi Arabia (KSA)
A strong U.S. dollar favors developed markets like Switzerland (EWL)
A U.S. recession may benefit defensive or export-driven economies

This allows investors to position portfolios based on macro outcomes.
