Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with only $10 open interest and zero 24-hour volume, making the 5¢ price potentially unreliable despite the astronomical 93,062% implied yield on the Yes side. The massive yield differential between Yes (93,062%) and No (257.8%) suggests severe mispricing or a highly confident market consensus against a >50bps cut, though the minimal liquidity undermines confidence in either interpretation. With just 7 days to expiry and a moderate cliff risk index of 19, traders should be cautious about the thin market depth and consider whether the extreme pricing reflects genuine probability or simply illiquidity constraints.
Resolution rules
If the Bank of Russia takes the action of Cut more than 50bps at the April Bank of Russia Board of Directors’ key rate meeting, then the market resolves to Yes.
