{"id":"9862bb74-3392-4731-9fe2-cc806c96be0b","headline":"Contrarian fade: Congress veto override mispriced at deep discount","pitch":"L1 prices a 2026 Congress veto override at 11¢ with an implied yield of 1,775% — the highest IY in the legislative dataset at a 5-day tau. L2 prices the same event ever at 29¢ (98% IY). The 18-cent gap between L1 and L2 implies the market thinks it happens eventually but not in 2026, yet Trump's 20% resignation probability and midterm dynamics (Democrats 82¢ House control) create a non-trivial 2026 path. Buy L1 for lottery-style yield on a real constitutional trigger.","conviction":"low","direction":"buy_yes","markets":[{"theme":"Stagflation Trap Forces Fed Into Corner","title":"Will Congress override Trump's veto before 2027?: Before 2027","venue":"kalshi","ticker":"KXVETOOVERRIDE-29JAN20-27","checkDate":"2026-12-31","currentPrice":11,"quantSignals":{"iyPct":1775,"regime":"CRI 8.1","edgeCents":null,"spreadCents":27,"contagionGap":null,"crossVenueGap":null},"outcomeTarget":"Congress overrides a Trump veto before 2027 (L1) resolves YES","themeNarrative":"Oil surging 3.7% (WTI at $123.75) while tariff probability sits at 83¢ creates a classic stagflation setup: inflation sticky, growth slowing, Fed paralyzed.
