Analysis
The market has surged 29% over seven days to 53¢, reflecting growing concern about 2026 inflation risks, though the $2,288 daily volume suggests limited liquidity for larger positions. The 106.7% implied yield on the Yes side appears attractive but is offset by extreme realized volatility of 201% and a Vol Ratio of 2.02, indicating significant price swings that could quickly erode gains. With 303 days to expiry and a neutral regime score, the market is pricing roughly even odds for a 4%+ CPI month in 2026, but the low information arrival rate (0.5/h) suggests few catalysts are currently driving conviction.
Resolution rules
If year-over-year CPI inflation is at least 4% in any month in 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
