Eleven outcomes. One winner. The Chengdu temperature market for June 11 spreads probability across a range from 26°C or below all the way to 36°C or higher, and right now the 29°C outcome carries the highest single-outcome price in the cluster. The market has priced 29°C at 26.5% implied probability, a modest lead in a field where no single outcome commands conviction. The data doesn’t care about the politics, and in this case the market is telling you the data is genuinely uncertain.

The market question asks: what will be the highest temperature recorded in Chengdu on June 11? The YES price on the 29°C outcome sits at 0.27, with NO priced at 0.74. Resolution occurs at 2026-06-11 12:00:00. Total volume stands at $2,311.

How the 29°C Contract Works

YES resolves to $1 if Chengdu’s official peak temperature on June 11 lands exactly at 29°C. Every other outcome pays nothing on this contract. The range of outcomes spans from 26°C or below through 36°C or higher, meaning the 29°C contract competes against ten alternatives for trader capital. A YES payout requires the official daily maximum to hit 29°C and stop there, not 28°C, not 30°C.

  • YES price: 0.27 (implied probability: 26.5%)
  • NO price: 0.74 (implied probability: 73.5%)

The NO side pays out if Chengdu’s June 11 peak lands anywhere other than 29°C. Given that ten other outcomes are in play, NO carries structural weight here. Chengdu’s Sichuan Basin location traps heat and humidity, pushing daily highs routinely into the 30°C range through June. A peak above 30°C or below 28°C both resolve NO on this specific contract.

Momentum and Market Signals

The momentum composite on this contract is flat. The 1-hour change registers at 0.0%, the trend score sits at 38.28, and no 24-hour price history is available yet. That flat signal reflects a market in its opening phase, not a market that has seen a catalyst. The contract opened at 0.22 and has drifted to 0.27, a modest upward move that likely reflects early positioning rather than new forecast data.

Total volume sits at $2,311, with all $2,311 arriving in the last 24 hours. Liquidity is $24,660. Volume below $1 million means this market is thin. A single large bet could reprice the 29°C outcome sharply. Treat the current probability as a soft signal, not a settled consensus.

  • The 29°C outcome at 26.5% is the single highest-priced outcome in an eleven-way split market. Even leading, it implies roughly three-in-four odds of missing.
  • The 1-hour price change of 0.0% and trend score of 38.28 show no directional pressure as of June 9.
  • Thin volume ($2,311 total) means liquidity at $24,660 vastly outweighs trading activity. Price remains moveable on minimal capital.
  • Trader sentiment reads strongly bearish on YES: 26.5% YES versus 73.5% NO reflects a wide spread of probability across competing outcomes, not a bearish view on Chengdu heat specifically.
  • No whale trades have printed on this contract. The signal from large capital is absent.

Lines Analysis: Chengdu’s June Temperature Window

Chengdu in early June sits in a transitional window. The city’s Sichuan Basin geography amplifies heat, and historical June daily highs cluster between 28°C and 33°C. The 29°C outcome lands near the lower edge of the most probable range. Forecast models for the region in mid-June 2026 show no active heat dome or cold front pattern that would strongly favor either extreme. A 29°C peak is plausible on a partly cloudy, moderately humid day, the kind of day that Chengdu sees regularly in early June before peak summer heat arrives.

The case against 29°C is straightforward. Chengdu averages push into the low 30s through June, and any significant solar forcing on June 11 likely lifts the peak above 29°C. A reading of 30°C, 31°C, or 32°C is at least as probable as 29°C based on the historical distribution. The city’s low-elevation basin setting means afternoon temperatures frequently overshoot early forecasts. Any synoptic pattern bringing dry air or increased sunshine would tip the outcome above 29°C.

Here’s what the measurements are telling us: in a distributed multi-outcome market with eleven possible results, 26.5% for a single integer outcome is actually a relatively strong prior. The market is pricing uncertainty, not science, and the $2,311 in volume hasn’t yet attracted the forecast-aware capital that would tighten the spread. The data currently favors no single outcome with strong conviction.

  • Any official forecast update placing June 11 Chengdu highs at 29°C would strengthen the YES side directly.
  • A forecast shift toward 31°C or higher would drain capital from the 29°C outcome and reprice adjacent outcomes upward.
  • Rainfall or cloud cover on June 10-11 suppressing afternoon highs would favor the 28°C or 29°C outcomes over higher readings.
  • A regional heat advisory for Sichuan Province covering June 11 would push probability mass toward the 33°C-36°C+ outcomes and reduce 29°C probability sharply.
  • Weather model consensus in the 24-48 hours before June 11 is the single most important repricing event for this entire outcome set.

Total volume of $2,311 is modest enough that this contract has not yet attracted forecast-informed capital. The data favors waiting for model consensus to emerge closer to June 11 before treating any single outcome price as reliable.

LINES VERDICT

THIN MARKET, OPEN QUESTION

The 29°C outcome leads an eleven-way field with no strong claim on the final reading. Chengdu’s June climate makes a peak near 29-31°C plausible, but the specific integer outcome remains wide open until forecast models converge.

What the market says: At 26.5% implied probability, the market is calling 29°C the single most likely outcome while simultaneously saying it has a three-in-four chance of being wrong. With thin volume below $1,000 and resolution two days out, this price will move sharply as weather forecasts sharpen.

Key unknown: The 48-hour Chengdu temperature forecast from China Meteorological Administration or major global models on June 10 is the single data point that would reprice every outcome in this market simultaneously.

Scientific Context: Chengdu’s June Temperature Distribution

Chengdu sits at roughly 500 meters elevation in the Sichuan Basin, surrounded by mountains that trap warm, humid air. June daily highs historically range from 28°C to 33°C, with the median closer to 30-31°C. The city averages roughly eight days per June above 33°C in recent years, reflecting a warming trend across the basin. A 29°C peak on June 11 would represent a cooler-than-average early June day, more consistent with overcast or rainy conditions than clear skies. The 2026 regional climate context shows no strong El Niño forcing, which historically amplifies Sichuan heat spikes. A neutral pattern slightly reduces the probability of extreme high outcomes (35°C+) while keeping the 28-31°C range competitive.

What would move price before June 11: a China Meteorological Administration forecast update specifying the Chengdu high for June 11, any regional weather advisory for Sichuan, or a significant precipitation event in the 24 hours prior that suppresses the afternoon peak.

Will Chengdu hit exactly 29°C on June 11?

At 26.5% implied probability, the 29°C outcome leads an eleven-way field but still implies a roughly three-in-four chance the actual peak lands elsewhere. It is a plausible but not dominant outcome.

What does a NO resolution look like?

Any official daily maximum other than 29°C resolves NO on this specific contract. That includes 28°C, 30°C, or any other reading in the eleven-outcome set.

What data would reprice this contract most?

A China Meteorological Administration point forecast for Chengdu on June 11 showing a specific expected high would directly shift probability mass toward the named outcome and away from adjacent integers.

When does this market resolve?

Resolution is set for 2026-06-11 at 12:00:00. The official daily maximum temperature for Chengdu on June 11 determines the winner across all outcome contracts in this set.

Is the current volume enough to trust the price?

Total volume of $2,311 is thin. Liquidity at $24,660 dwarfs trading activity, meaning a single informed bet could shift the 29°C probability meaningfully. Treat the current 26.5% as an early estimate, not a settled market signal.

Resolution Analysis

Cloud Cover Caps the Peak

A partly cloudy or overcast June 11 in Chengdu, consistent with early monsoon moisture, suppresses the afternoon high and keeps the peak near 29°C. Historical patterns show cooler days in early June during periods of southwesterly moisture inflow. This scenario pushes the 29°C probability from 26.5% toward 40% or higher as forecasts firm up.

Basin Heat Lifts the Reading

Chengdu's Sichuan Basin geography frequently pushes June highs above 31°C under clear skies or dry synoptic conditions. Any forecast showing strong solar radiation on June 11 drains probability mass from 29°C toward the 31°C to 33°C outcomes. This is the baseline risk for the current price leader.

Late Forecast Convergence

Weather models within 24 hours of June 11 provide the sharpest temperature guidance. If global and China Meteorological Administration models converge on a 29°C high, late-entry capital flows into the YES side and compresses the spread from the current 73.5% NO toward parity. The thin volume means even modest informed capital reprices this contract quickly.

Precipitation Event Changes Everything

A convective storm or significant rainfall in Chengdu on June 10 overnight could reset soil moisture and evaporative cooling, suppressing June 11 highs below 29°C and shifting probability mass to the 27°C or 28°C outcomes. Conversely, an early heat wave clearing cloud cover could spike the reading to 33°C or above, collapsing the 29°C contract entirely.

Key macro factor: Neutral ENSO conditions in mid-2026 reduce the probability of extreme heat spikes above 35°C in the Sichuan Basin, keeping the 28°C to 32°C outcome range most competitive for June 11.
