They're saying that banning sports betting on regulated prediction markets would just push the activity offshore where there's zero oversight.

They also said the bill is motivated by casino interests that feel threatened by competition.

The DraftKings stock did get a 5% pop this morning after this report about the Senate bill came out.

Now, personally, I like prediction markets, especially to get economic data, like what the market thinks interest rates will be by the end of the year.

But I don't like the fact that sports betting is mixed in with it.

Airline stocks are a big winner today following President Trump pausing airstrikes on Iran.

Airline stocks like Delta, American Airlines, and United Airlines have been hit hard this past month because of rising jet fuel prices, which have jumped around 60% since the start of the war.

A quick update on that, these stocks were in the red initially, but now they're back in the green.

I guess the market is not quite convinced that oil prices are about to go lower.
