Why do you think you're right?

Most polls show Cuomo winning in rounds 6-10. With the last mayoral election coming down to 7,000 votes and the median age of NYC residents is 38 years old and his opponent, Zohran Mamdani is favorable among the younger demographic

Why might you be wrong?
With NYC having the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, ~1.3million, Mamdani's stance during the debate (given ongoing conflict) and his lack of experience may work in Andrew Cuomo's favor.

It looks like Israel is attempting a “scorched earth” operation.  I’m wondering if after killing the major Hamas Leader Sinwar, how aggressively they need to proceed?  The UN cites they are targeting civilians in an “ethnic cleansing.”  I’m wondering if Israel may decrease episodic violence to quell the news regarding their efforts of ethnic cleansing?

Geopolitical events can disrupt oil supplies (Gaza Conflict, Russia/Ukraine)

While there are notable geopolitical events happening that may affect crude oil prices, the major effects were felt in 2022/2023.

Typically gas prices rise in the summer months due to travel-- putting additional pressure on the gasoline supply, and refineries shifting to a summer-blend gasoline that temporarily increases gas prices. With this increased demand, prior to 2022/2023, the last time gas was above 3.600 in July was 2014.
