Kalshi ladder

record: CMSIG2026093003 | category: momentum-repricing | target: CM-EVT-MZQH465PC3 | published: 2026-09-30

4-bullet brief | narrative

The ladder implies a market-consensus range of 90,000-100,000 jobs: 58% above 90K but only 46% above 100K, bracketing the ADP print precisely.
ADP's 90,000 September figure lands right at the 58% threshold, meaning the market is neither surprised nor pushed to reprice the upper tail.
The distribution still assigns 94% probability above negative 25,000, confirming markets see no serious risk of an outright job loss month.
Friday's official BLS nonfarm payrolls print is the resolution event; ADP and BLS frequently diverge, keeping the 100K-plus tail genuinely uncertain.
