Analysis

4d ago

Bennett's odds have ticked up 3 cents over seven days to 27¢, reflecting modest bullish momentum despite thin $1,622 daily volume and a relatively wide 2¢ spread on $45k open interest. The asymmetric implied yields—383% for Yes versus 52% for No—signal substantial tail risk pricing, with realized volatility at 253% suggesting the market has experienced significant swings ahead of the October 2026 election. With 258 days to expiry and a neutral regime score, this appears fairly valued as a long-shot bet, though the 3.0 cliff risk index warrants caution around early election scenarios that could trigger immediate resolution.
