How Bolivia's Plans to Tap Mineral Riches Are Being Tested by Mass Unrest

Bolivia’s new president, Rodrigo Paz, is attempting to rebrand the country as a destination for foreign investment after two decades of socialist rule. Sitting atop some of the world’s largest lithium resources and vast mineral reserves, Bolivia has long struggled to translate its natural resources into economic prosperity.

Rogoff says the dollar remains deeply embedded in global trade and finance, but warns that the gradual erosion of its dominance is already underway. (Source: Bloomberg)

Why Susquehanna Is Building a Prediction Market Business | Odd Lots

Prediction markets that enable you to bet on pretty much everything are everywhere nowadays.

In this episode, recorded live at New York's City Winery, we talk to Jeremy Maletz, Susquehanna's head of macro trading and prediction markets, about the firm's market-making business with Kalshi. We talk about how big investors could use prediction markets, what Susquehanna is seeing in terms of flows, how a market-maker hedges risk on these contracts, and how it makes money from them.
