Polymarket data reveals significant trading activity on both 25bps and 50bps Fed rate hike scenarios for the October meeting. This indicates market uncertainty about the Fed's next move, with some participants pricing in a more aggressive hike. The uncertainty is weighing on growth stocks and financials. Robinhood reported earnings that missed expectations, driven by weakness in its crypto business. However, Wall Street analysts remain bullish, viewing the company's shift toward infrastructure products like prediction markets and perpetuals as a long-term growth driver. The stock reaction was muted, with no analyst rating changes.
