The week ahead...

Rotten Tomatoes (TV markets)

'Fallout'

Our Rotten Tomatoes movie markets are off to a great start, and our 'Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire' market is kicking into high gear for this Friday's release.

But now, Kalshi also offers Rotten Tomatoes markets for your favorite (and least favorite) new television series.

Think you know how critics will react to new shows like 'Fallout' and 'The Acolyte?' Now's your chance to make some cash.

Check out all our RT television markets here.

PCE data drop
Widely regarded as the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the latest batch of Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data will be released on Friday.

How will stock markets react? Well, they won't react at all since they'll be closed for the Good Friday holiday.

But Kalshi's markets will be up and running, and could provide a window into what the data means for future rate cuts.

Beyoncé goes country

'Cowboy Carter'

Beyoncé's 'Act 2: Cowboy Carter,' drops on Friday. It's a country album that explores the singer's Texas roots. But will the genre shift resonate with her fans?

Our traders think so, and currently give it a 99% chance of reaching #1 on the Billboard 200. It also has an 89% chance of receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.

Our favorite markets...

Starship on Mars?

'Get your *ss to Mars...'

Just days after the third launch of SpaceX's newest rocket, Elon Musk made the bold prediction that a Starship will land on the surface of Mars 'within 5 years.'

That's cool, but maybe he should worry about getting the fourth test off (and back on) the ground before heading for the red planet. We've got a market on that.

We also have a new market on whether or not a manned Starship mission to Mars will launch before 2030.

It's usually not a good idea to go against one of the richest men in the world. But on the other hand, when it comes to accurate timeframes, Elon has a pretty poor track record.

Is Apple a monopoly?

Last Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming its iPhone ecosystem is a monopoly that drives up prices and stifles competition.

Will the lawsuit be successful, or will Apple beat the rap and/or cut a deal?

Check out our brand-new Apple monopoly market and see what traders are saying."

Lab-grown meat bans?

Would you eat meat that was grown in a lab? Well, it's a question you won't have to answer if Florida and other states get their way.

Several lab-grown meat bans are working their way through state legislatures, and would supposedly help protect consumers from unknown risks (not to mention shield meat producers from competition).

Will any of the bans pass?"
