Economics & Finance
Contracts settling on macroeconomic data releases and financial-market levels — Fed rate decisions, inflation, jobs, GDP, and index, commodity or asset prices.
About Economics & Finance Markets
Each contract pays out based on whether an announced figure or market close falls within a stated threshold or range, referencing official data prints (Fed decisions, BLS reports) or measurable closes, which makes settlement objective and tied to a scheduled event.
This is a core, high-frequency category on Kalshi and a growing one on Polymarket, and it anchors the newer operator products (DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics) launched alongside sports.
How Economics & Finance Markets Are Regulated
Generally the least-contested category — financial and macroeconomic event contracts fall within the CFTC’s core derivatives jurisdiction (referencing "excluded commodities"), and some operator products are built on established regulated futures infrastructure for this reason.
