Analysis

4d ago

This market is pricing an extremely narrow Republican House outcome (218-222 seats) at just 5¢, implying only a 5% probability despite 291 days to expiration. The astronomical 2386% implied yield on the Yes side and minimal $209.51 daily volume suggest this is either severely mispriced or reflects genuine market skepticism about such a tight range materializing. With a 19 Cliff Risk Index and the price having risen just 1¢ over seven days, there's limited conviction either direction, though the massive yield differential indicates sophisticated traders see significant asymmetric value if Republicans land precisely in this narrow band.

Resolution rules

If the Republican Party has between 218-222 House seats on Feb 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
