Why this matters:
This probability measures whether Mexico's central bank will cut its benchmark interest rate by more than 50 basis points at its May 2026 monetary policy meeting. At 19%, the market indicates this outcome is unlikely. The low probability reflects that larger rate cuts are typically reserved for economic emergencies or crisis conditions. The market appears to be pricing in either a smaller cut (25 basis points, currently at 82¢) or rate maintenance (6¢). The main catalyst is the Bank of Mexico's actual decision at the May meeting, which will depend on Mexico's inflation trajectory, economic growth data, peso strength, and Federal Reserve policy signals. Any new inflation data, currency volatility, or central bank communications before the meeting could shift expectations significantly.

Key factors:
- The 25 basis point cut contract is trading at 82¢, suggesting markets expect either a 25bp cut or no cut rather than 50bp+
- Contemporaneous Fed policy signals matter significantly—tighter US policy would constrain Mexico's room to cut aggressively
- Recent inflation readings and peso depreciation trends would indicate whether emergency-level 50bp+ cuts are justified
- The Bank of Mexico's pre-meeting communications and recent statement language provide signal of their policy direction
- Economic growth data and credit conditions in Mexico between now and the May meeting could shift cut probability upward or downward

Contracts:
- Will the Bank of Mexico Maintain current rate at the June Bank of Mexico Governing Board meeting?: Maintain current rate — 97¢ Kalshi $872 (weight 100%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
