In plain terms

When prediction-market election odds tilt one way, certain sectors (defense/energy vs healthcare/clean) lead.

How it works

Election prediction-market moves drive sector rotation: rising R-probability lifts defense/energy; rising D-probability lifts managed-care/clean-energy. The most-traded polymarket election market's YES price proxies the partisan tilt.
