April 17th — Javelin Wealth Management is tracking prediction markets, but President and CEO Rick Wurster highlights a critical gap between betting on Taylor Swift’s love life and wagering on the latest inflation data. During Javelin’s first-quarter earnings call Thursday, Wurster noted: “We’ll likely launch a prediction market at some point, and we’ll distinguish between wagering on financial events and topics like sports, politics, and pop culture.” But Wurster stressed Javelin isn’t among the firms rushing to roll out such products. “It’s not top of our clients’ demand list, and trader success rates are low — people typically lose money. This is something we’ll study carefully; for us, offering it would be straightforward. When we do launch it, we’ll do so formally.”

On April 17, former U.S. President Donald Trump said he expects to announce a deal with Iran soon, framing the agreement as delivering "free oil" and a "free Strait of Hormuz" to the U.S. Asked about the economy and oil prices, Trump noted current prices are lower than anticipated. "Gas and oil costs are a dollar less than people thought they’d be—provided they know what I had to do," he said. He added: "Negotiations are going very well right now. If finalized, we’ll announce it soon, giving us free oil and a free Strait of Hormuz. Everything will be fine, and oil prices will drop even further."
