Analysis
This market is pricing an extremely unlikely scenario—two Democrats advancing from California's top-two primary—at just 9¢, implying a 722% yield for Yes holders despite 409 days to expiry. The 6¢ spread and modest $177.66 daily volume suggest thin liquidity, while the 837% realized volatility and 3.70 vol ratio indicate this contract experiences sharp price swings, possibly driven by low-volume trades; the recent decline from 13¢ to 11¢ over seven days warrants monitoring for directional conviction. With a cliff risk index of 8 and info arrival rate of 0.9/hour, significant political developments could rapidly reprrice this market before the June 2027 close.
Resolution rules
If 2 Democrats advance to the general election for California Governor in 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
