Analysis
The market is pricing this as a pure coin flip at 50¢ with symmetric 344% annualized yields on both sides, reflecting genuine uncertainty about Trump's Cuba policy over the next 106 days. However, the extremely thin liquidity ($505.96 open interest, $364 daily volume) and elevated realized volatility of 286% suggest this contract is highly sensitive to news flow, with the recent 6¢ price decline over seven days potentially signaling skepticism about near-term deal probability. The 1.5 info arrivals per hour and neutral regime score indicate the market is actively monitoring developments, but the low Cliff Risk Index suggests resolution risk is not concentrated near expiry.
Resolution rules
If the United States announces a new free trade agreement, multilateral trade agreement, trade framework, or economic cooperation arrangement with Cuba before Aug 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
