Analysis
This market shows extreme yield asymmetry with the Yes side offering an extraordinary 3150% implied yield versus 997% for No, suggesting severe mispricing or very low conviction among traders. The 7-day price surge from 2¢ to 36¢ (then settling at 49¢) indicates significant recent information arrival, though the modest $188 liquidity and 11¢ spread create execution risk for meaningful positions. With 21 days to the next briefing and a neutral regime, the high realized volatility (2302%) and 3.12 vol ratio suggest this market is pricing in genuine uncertainty about whether a common word like "affordable" will appear in routine remarks.
Resolution rules
If the White House Press Secretary says Afford / Affordable / Affordability at the next Press Briefing by the White House Press Secretary (does not include gaggles), then the market resolves to Yes.
