And the charts quiz winner is . . .

And the charts quiz winner is . . . Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Last week’s quiz was a classic shit sandwich. Two relatively easy charts to guess on either side of an almost impossible one. Almost impossible, but two people nailed it. Unfortunately, one of those two people then fumbled the finish. This shows US gross private domestic investment. A LOT of people got this one. This chart showed as of Friday afternoon the Polymarket odds on Donald Trump insulting Kevin Warsh by the end of the listed months. Pricing has moved since Friday, but it seems the degens/truth seekers still think there’s a decent chance a public rupture happens before the end of the year. This chart showed various 10-year government bond yields, and the one we wanted shows the 10-year Greek yield (the ‘hon hon hon’ was an unsubtle clue to show you which one was the French one). The first and second charts were widely guessed, but the second one tripped up all but two champs: serial winner James Ritossa and impressive first-time entrant Oliver Bamford. Unfortunately for Bamford, he went on to guess Italy for the third chart, so Ritossa becomes the first winner of both the tee and cap. To me, Clive, it just shows the benefit of experience in these kinds of competitions. One reader asked for more esoteric charts, like the London Underground schematics. Luckily Bryce is on quiz duty this week, so expect some curveballs. Comments
