This set of markets tracks potential movements in the yield of two-year U.S. Treasury securities by setting various threshold levels. Each market assesses whether the yield surpasses a specific benchmark on a set date, offering insights into expectations about interest rate changes and broader economic conditions.
All markets resolve based on whether the par yield for the 2Y U.S. Treasury exceeds a specified threshold on August 21, 2026. Each market defines a unique threshold, incrementally increasing by 0.02 percentage points from 4.00% to 4.28%. A 'Yes' outcome occurs if the yield surpasses the respective threshold for that market. Expiration occurs at the sooner of two times: either 7:00 PM ET on the first business day following the official release of the yield data for August 21, 2026, or one week after August 21, 2026. This structure allows participants to speculate on the likelihood of different yield levels being achieved, with each market providing a granular view of potential outcomes across a range of interest rate scenarios.
Key signals that could shift this market include Federal Reserve policy announcements, major economic data releases such as inflation or employment reports, geopolitical developments affecting global capital flows, and unexpected shifts in investor risk appetite. Each of these can cause rapid re-pricing of yield expectations by traders on Kalshi.
