Analysis
This market has collapsed 6% over the past week to 81¢, suggesting declining confidence that California's top-two primary will produce a split Democratic-Republican general election ticket. The extreme implied yield asymmetry—280.8% on the No side versus 28.0% on Yes—reflects the market's conviction that a same-party runoff (two Democrats) is substantially more likely, though the 4¢ spread and modest $9.4k open interest indicate thin liquidity for a market with over a year until resolution. The unusually high realized volatility of 267% and vol ratio of 4.93 suggest this contract experiences sharp price swings despite low daily volume of just $6.09, creating potential execution challenges for larger positions.
Resolution rules
If 1 Democrat and 1 Republican advance to the general election for California Governor in 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
