**Daily Brief • 7 July 2026**

French politics dominated overnight trading. Marine Le Pen's nomination as National Rally candidate surged 73 points to 95%, signalling near-certainty among traders. Her odds of winning the 2027 presidency itself rose 21 points to 29%, though this remained substantially lower than nomination odds—reflecting broad scepticism about her general-election viability. In the US Senate, bets on Mitch McConnell's early departure fell 22 points to 53%, unwinding recent momentum.

Geopolitical sentiment shifted mixed. Iran withdrawal odds from MOU talks climbed 24 points to 31%, while simultaneous US–Iran diplomatic meeting odds declined 14 points to 59%, suggesting traders see negotiation risk but not yet rupture. An AI release weighed on near-term sentiment: GPT-5.6 release odds hit 79% (+16 pt) ahead of a reported July 9 deadline. Anthropic IPO bets eased slightly to 63% (−12 pt). Oil markets showed modest upward pressure, with WTI $80 in July now at 35% (+21 pt).
