Analysis

The yield curve displays a pronounced steepening pattern across the term structure, with the shortest-tenor MEX contracts (6 days) showing the highest YES probabilities in the 78-82% range for mid-strike levels, while longer-dated contracts show progressively lower probabilities at comparable strike levels. The cheapest YES probabilities appear in the 25-27 day tenor bucket, where AUS contracts trade at 13-14% for upper strikes and CHN contracts show 1-4% for the highest strikes. Within individual tenor buckets, the curves are notably non-monotonic and fragmented, suggesting either poor liquidity or significant disagreement about the underlying distribution. The BR and GER 7-day contracts display particularly erratic pricing, with GER-6.2 at 85% standing isolated among much lower probabilities, indicating potential data anomalies or thin trading. The market's current pricing structure suggests concentration of event probability in the immediate 6-7 day window, with a sharp decay in conviction as time extends. The steepening curve implies the market expects either a near-term resolution or outcome crystallization, with substantially reduced probability mass assigned to outcomes 25+ days forward. The fragmented intra-bucket pricing and near-zero volumes across most contracts indicate these markets lack sufficient liquidity to form a coherent consensus distribution. The sole exception is CHN-4.8 at 98% with $329 in 24-hour volume, suggesting this particular strike has attracted meaningful conviction, though the overall pattern reflects a market struggling to price a complex, multi-dimensional event with uncertain timing.

How to read this page

A term structure plots the implied YES probability of each constituent market against its days-to-resolution. Steepening upward = the market prices the event as becoming more likely with time. Flat = stable expectations. Inverted = a near-term catalyst raises odds early then they fade.

Curve construction: each constituent contract is identified by its venue event_id (KXUE on kalshi). Tenor is computed from the contract’s close_time minus snapshot time, rounded to days. We do not interpolate between tenors — every plotted point is a real, traded contract. Outcome-slate pages show price-as-probability for mutually-exclusive contracts; term-structure pages show price-as-probability vs days-to-resolution for the same underlying event.

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.
