Must Read Research: Rates, Crops, Korea, and Prediction Markets

In this episode of Must Read Research on Global Research Unlocked, Head of Global Research Candace Browning explores how markets are pricing the probabilities that matter most. We discuss why Treasury yields continue to track Federal Reserve expectations more closely than economic data, how tightening inventories and supply disruptions are supporting an emerging agricultural bull cycle, and why Korea’s next growth phase may extend well beyond memory chips into infrastructure, consumer, and healthcare industries. We also examine the rapid evolution of prediction markets, where trading volumes have surged as platforms expand beyond politics into sports, crypto, and other event-driven markets.
