The story

UK-licensed exchanges have seen sustained interest in political contracts during party conference season.

Prices can react immediately to speeches and polling, but they remain market-implied probabilities rather than statements of certainty.

Readers should compare the timestamp and liquidity of any quoted market before treating a movement as meaningful.
