Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with only $46.44 in 24-hour volume and open interest, creating a wide 6¢ spread and inflated implied yield of 2,868% on the Yes side that doesn't reflect realistic expected returns. The 9¢ price implies a very low probability of Becerra finishing third, which seems reasonable given his current position as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services and the crowded California primary field, though the modest 2¢ price increase over seven days suggests limited conviction among traders. With 412 days to expiration and a moderate cliff risk index of 32, this remains a speculative position with minimal market depth.
Resolution rules
If Xavier Becerra finishes in 3rd place in the 2026 California gubernatorial primary according to the certified results, then the market resolves to Yes.
