Analysis

4d ago

The market is pricing in a 73% probability of Q1 2026 GDP exceeding 1.5% growth, with the contract having rallied 4 cents over seven days, suggesting modest bullish momentum as we approach the April 30th resolution. The extreme implied yield on the No side (6983%) reflects the sharp cliff risk (index of 3) inherent in binary markets near expiry, while the tight 1-cent spread and $43.7K open interest indicate reasonable liquidity despite only $3.2K in daily volume. The 238% realized volatility and 0.69 vol ratio suggest the market has priced in meaningful uncertainty, though the neutral regime score (0.568) indicates no strong directional bias from broader market conditions.

Resolution rules

If real GDP (as measured by the BEA’s seasonally adjusted and annualized Advance Estimate) increases by more than 1.5, then the market resolves to Yes.
