Will the year-over-year change in the U.S. Consumer Price
Index exceed 2.4 per cent in March 2025?
Will the United States economy enter a recession by the end of
Q2 2025?
Will global carbon dioxide emissions exceed 42,000 million
metric tons in 2024?
These are the types of "forecast" or "event"
contracts that offer investors a way to express a view or hedge
against the outcome of key market-moving events.
With the rising interest in "prediction markets",
Interactive Brokers Canada Inc. (Interactive Brokers Canada) has
been granted securities regulatory approval to offer certain
forecast contracts to eligible clients in Canada. The forecast
contracts are traded on ForecastEx LLC (ForecastEx), a U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission registered Designated Contract
Market (DCM) and a Derivative Clearing Organization (DCO). BLG is
proud to have partnered with Interactive Brokers Canada on this
project.
