Bracket families

2 clusters across 5 contracts.

These contracts were grouped by title similarity. The headline aggregate combines all clusters; verify the cluster you actually need before quoting a number.

Heads-up — heterogeneous clusters

The top two clusters share only 12% of their title tokens — “Will the margin of victory for Democrats in the U.S. Senate election in New Mexico be at least” vs “Will the U.S. sovereign wealth fund be operational before 2027”. The headline aggregate weights both, so the number on this page is meaningful only if the clusters resolve to the same question.

Analysis

This probability reflects the likelihood that the U.S. conducts a ground military operation targeting drug cartels or criminal organizations in Mexico before a specific deadline. The 29% aggregate probability sits between two distinct market views: Kalshi traders (averaging 41%) assess higher risk, while Polymarket traders (averaging 20%) see it as less likely. The gap suggests disagreement about whether escalating border security tensions, cartel violence, or political pressure would trigger direct military action. Key drivers include the Trump administration's stance on border security and Mexico, current cartel activity levels, and Mexico's willingness to permit or resist such operations. Related markets show traders view entry restrictions as more probable than military intervention, and assign low odds to regime change in Mexico, suggesting uncertainty about the political stability needed for such an operation to proceed.

  • Trump administration rhetoric and policy on border security versus actual military readiness—stated intent differs materially from operational authorization
  • Mexico's diplomatic and military capacity to resist or cooperate with U.S. ground operations—Sheinbaum administration's position remains unclarified in markets
  • Cartel violence escalation or border-related incidents that could trigger domestic U.S. political pressure for military action before the deadline
  • Historical precedent and legal/diplomatic barriers—no recent U.S. ground operation in Mexico exists, creating uncertainty about threshold for action
  • Timing concentration—if the deadline is 2026 year-end or sooner, the window for operational planning and execution narrows significantly

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.
