Analysis
This market shows extreme volatility (356% realized vol) with a sharp 19% price rally over seven days (27¢ to 32¢), yet liquidity remains thin at just $60 daily volume against $40k open interest, creating potential execution challenges. The 244% implied yield on the Yes side is notably aggressive given the 36% probability and 304-day timeframe, suggesting either significant tail risk pricing or speculative positioning, though the neutral regime score (0.568) and low info arrival rate (0.4/h) indicate limited fundamental catalysts are currently driving the market. The 5¢ spread and cliff risk index of 2 warrant caution for larger position entries.
Resolution rules
If year-over-year CPI inflation is at least 4.5% in any month in 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
