Analysis
Val Hoyle is priced at an extremely high 90¢ with virtually no trading activity ($0 in 24h volume), suggesting this market lacks liquidity despite $727 in open interest and a wide 6¢ spread. The asymmetric implied yields—8.8% for Yes versus 473% for No—indicate the market is heavily skewed toward her nomination, though the "No" side offers outsized returns reflecting the low probability pricing and minimal liquidity depth. With 566 days until expiry and a Cliff Risk Index of 7, this market appears to be pricing in Hoyle as the near-certain Democratic nominee for OR-04, but traders should be cautious given the illiquidity and potential for sharp repricing if competitive dynamics shift.
Resolution rules
If Val Hoyle wins the nomination for the Democratic Party to contest the 2026 OR-04 House seat, then the market resolves to Yes.
