Analysis

This probability reflects the current market expectation that Tarcísio de Freitas will win the São Paulo gubernatorial race, with an 84% chance priced in. The high confidence in de Freitas is likely driven by his incumbent status, polling leads, and political alignment with the national administration. The 9% for Fernando Haddad and 6% for Kim Kataguiri suggest meaningful but smaller probabilities for alternative outcomes. The probability would shift materially on new polling data, campaign developments, or scandals affecting any candidate. The election is scheduled for late 2026, with campaign dynamics and voter sentiment potentially moving markets significantly in coming months as the race intensifies.

  • Tarcísio de Freitas holds incumbent advantage as current São Paulo Governor, a structural factor typically associated with higher re-election odds
  • Recent polling data on voting intention in São Paulo state and approval ratings for the current governor would directly validate or contradict the 84% pricing
  • Campaign finance disclosures and spending levels by competing candidates, which affect media reach and organizational capacity in a large state
  • Any major corruption allegations, resignations, or health issues affecting de Freitas or primary challengers would likely trigger sharp price movements
  • Election date is scheduled for October 2026, meaning uncertainty should compress significantly in Q3-Q4 as voting approaches and final polling emerges

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
