Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $1,805 open interest, suggesting minimal trader conviction either direction. The 4¢ price implies only a 4% probability of Clayton's confirmation within 14 days, yet the Yes-side implied yield of 62,185% indicates severe mispricing or that the market is pricing in near-zero realistic odds given the compressed timeframe. The neutral regime score and modest $1,805 open interest suggest this is a niche contract with limited market depth, making the astronomical yield figures potentially misleading rather than actionable opportunities.
Resolution rules
If Walter "Jay" Clayton is the first person confirmed as U.S. Attorney for SDNY before May 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
