POP YOYO 
12-5-2025
The market has dropped the last several days and the POP payment daily post today (12-5) is 1.41 cents that will be used in the 5-day average for next week's "end of the week" change. 
Its looking like the overall trend for weakness in the market with an offsetting increase in POP is still with us even though the POP took what seems like a brief dip.  The current strategy would be to align you decision for popping with an overall pricing of futures as well as a marketing strategy.
