This is a live Kalshi event contract. The price, 12 cents, is the market’s implied probability of YES. Whether that number is well-calibrated is its own question: our Truth Machine measures how often markets at each price level actually settle YES. Confirm live prices on Kalshi before trading.

The crowd may be overcharging for this

Contracts like this one have settled YES only 14.7% of the time, and the crowd is charging 17c. Based on 2,341 settled markets across all categories in the 10-19c band (we do not yet hold enough economics history to price this by category, so this is the market-wide curve and is weaker evidence). Buying this systematically has been a slow bleed, and the 1c fee makes it worse.

This is what this kind of contract has been worth, not a forecast for this one: a band average does not know what is happening in the news. See the Fair Value Board for every market scored this way, or the economics curve it came from.

Across our settled record, markets priced near 10–19¢ have gone on to settle YES 15% of the time (n=2,341). That is history, not a forecast for this specific market. See the Truth Machine for the full curve.
