About

How many Jobless Claims for week ending in August 22, 2026 will there be?Contracts resolve based on the "Initial Claims" figure (Seasonally Adjusted) as reported in the "Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report", https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf, released by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) on August 27. Settlement is determined by the initial figure published on the scheduled release date. The Contract will settle as “Yes” if the initial release is reported as strictly greater than the number specified in the Contract. Any subsequent revisions, adjustments, or restatements by the DOL in the weeks following the initial release will not be considered for the purpose of contract resolution. If the DOL postpones the release of the report beyond the scheduled expiration date, contracts will resolve based on the last fair market price as determined by Rothera. In the event the report is canceled entirely, the contract will be settled to fair market value as determined by Rothera.Get $1 for every contract you own if your prediction is correct.
