Analysis
This market shows extreme asymmetry with a 681% implied yield on the Yes side versus just 21% on the No side, suggesting the 21¢ price may undervalue inflation risk given the 5.5% threshold and 304 days to expiration. The 829% realized volatility and 3.48 vol ratio indicate substantial price swings despite minimal recent movement (flat at 14¢ over 7 days), while the thin $22.52 daily volume and wide 8¢ spread reflect low liquidity that could exacerbate slippage on larger positions. With a Cliff Risk Index of 6 and 0.5 info arrivals per hour, this market is moderately sensitive to economic data releases, making it potentially attractive for traders with conviction on 2026 inflation dynamics.
Resolution rules
If year-over-year CPI inflation is at least 5.5% in any month in 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
