Analysis

4d ago

This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $20k open interest, suggesting the 10¢ price may not reflect genuine market consensus but rather stale positioning. The 1643% implied yield on the Yes side is unusually high and likely a mispricing artifact of the illiquid market—New Mexico has voted Democratic in recent presidential cycles, making a Republican gubernatorial win plausible but not as unlikely as 10% suggests. The sharp two-week decline from 12¢ to 10¢ combined with a high cliff risk index (9/10) warrants caution, as this thin market could experience significant repricing once liquidity returns.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 New Mexico gubernatorial election. A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date. Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.
