Analysis

The prediction market yield curve displays a pronounced downward slope across the near-term tenors before flattening considerably at longer horizons. The shortest tenor (10 days) shows the steepest probability cliff, with YES probabilities ranging from 96% down to just 4-5% across the RUS26JUL contracts. The 12-day CAN26AUG bucket maintains elevated probabilities in the 85-91% range before dropping sharply to 1-2%, while the 24-day tenors (BR26JUL and CHN26AUG) exhibit more gradual decay, with probabilities declining from 80-86% to single digits. The cheapest YES probabilities appear in the 32-day AUS26AUG bucket and the 79-day SAF26Q3 bucket, both bottoming out at 1%, though the SAF26Q3 contracts show stronger mid-range probabilities (49-96%) compared to the steeper cliff observed in shorter tenors. This structure reveals significant term differentiation rather than a simple monotonic decline. The market's probability distribution strongly suggests concentration of expected event occurrence in the immediate 10-24 day window, with the steepest decay occurring between days 10 and 24. The flattening at longer tenors—where probabilities stabilize around 1% rather than declining further—indicates the market assigns minimal but non-zero tail risk to outcomes beyond 32 days. The high trading volume concentrated in the CHN26AUG contracts (particularly the 5.1-5.3 strikes) suggests active price discovery around the 24-day tenor, implying this is where market participants perceive the critical decision point. Overall, the curve communicates that the market expects resolution to occur soon, with

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.
