AI Summary:

Market Context & Data Summary

Event: Will the extent of the arctic sea ice be below 3.6 million square km between December 19, 2024 and October 01, 2025?

Implied P(YES) (mid): 1% | YES/NO spreads: 1¢ / 99¢ | Overround(asks): 1.0% |
Underround(bids): 1.0%.

Orderbook skew: The order book shows significant depth on the NO side, with the largest size at 10,000 units priced at 2¢, indicating a strong consensus for "NO." No bids for "YES" were noted.

Recent prints: No notable trading activity observed in the last 24 hours.

External context: - The Arctic's sea ice extent continues to see a long-term decline, with 2022 observing one of the lowest recorded extents at 3.3 million square km. (National Snow & Ice Data Center) - Current climate models suggest a warming trend that could sustain low ice levels during the prediction window. (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) - Recent reports confirm that 2023 has started with significantly lower sea ice levels than average. (NOAA) - Historical analysis indicates an increased likelihood of below-average ice extent due to warming Arctic temperatures. (NSIDC)


View & Probability

Analyst P(YES): 5%.

Rationale: Although current models and historical trends suggest a declining sea ice extent, the strong current position of the orderbook at high NO prices and lack of recent trading activity indicates a market consensus for "NO." An estimate of 5% reflects broader climate trends, albeit still overshadowed by existing market sentiment.


Actionable Trading Recommendations

Idea 1 — Short YES position
Entry: 1¢ | Invalid/Stop: 2¢ | Target: 0.1¢
Thesis: Given the strong consensus reflected in the order book for "NO," a short on YES is justified.
Key risks/catalysts: Climate anomalies leading to rapid field changes in sea ice dynamics, increased media attention on climate events.

Idea 2 — Long NO position
Entry: 99¢ | Invalid/Stop: 98¢ | Target: 100¢
Thesis: The prevailing data supports a high likelihood of no significant change to Arctic sea ice levels.
Key risks/catalysts: Unexpected climate reports signaling a rush in melting rates could challenge this position.
