4-bullet brief | narrative

The Kalshi ladder assigns only 2-4% probability across all strikes from 1.0% to 3.9%, implying the market sees essentially zero chance the 10-year yield collapses to those levels before 2027.
With the 10-year yield printing above 5% on the back of 3.4% GDP growth and accelerating PCE inflation, the ladder distribution is fully consistent with current macro conditions.
The Fed's two hawkish dissenters and sticky inflation data further reduce any path to the dramatic yield collapse these ladder strikes would require.
The Kalshi contract on a Fed rate cut greater than 25 bps this year (3%) corroborates: no easing catalyst exists that would drive yields anywhere near the ladder's strike range.
