Kalshi ladder

record: CMSIG2026110201 | category: pre-event-pricing | target: CM-EVT-6CSLHX0K76 | published: 2026-11-02

4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi ladder prices October 2026 payrolls in the 60,000-70,000 range, with 51% above 60K but only 44% above 70K.
September's weak 29,000 print is consistent with a cautious market; the implied October range is a modest recovery, not a breakout.
The distribution shows fat left-tail risk: 10% chance of negative job growth, 18% chance below zero net of the -25K strike at 90%.
Resolution via the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation release due Friday, Nov 6; hurricane or revision effects could shift the final print materially.
