4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices a Samuel Alito retirement announcement by Jun 30, 2027 at 35%, a meaningful minority probability.
39% of all-time volume arrived in 24h, a notable single-session share for a slow-moving SCOTUS contract.
Senate dynamics, Trump judicial agenda, or Alito public statements likely refreshed trader interest.
Resolution deadline is Jun 30, 2027; odds imply roughly one-in-three chance of an announcement inside a year.
