Recorded price path

This is a live Kalshi event contract. The price, 5 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.

Contracts like this one have settled YES 12.2% of the time, and the crowd is charging 5c. Based on 41 settled economics markets in the 0-9c band, priced about a day before their events. After the 1c taker fee, that leaves about 6c of edge per contract, if this market behaves like the ones we measured.

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.

What history says about this price

Across our settled record, markets priced near 0–9¢ have gone on to settle YES 6% of the time (n=1,004). That is history, not a forecast for this specific market. See the Truth Machine for the full curve.
