Who Will Be Israel’s Next PM? Gideon Sa’ar Draws Biggest Kalshi Trade
Kalshi’s market on Israel’s next prime minister launched today with a clear standout in early order flow: Gideon Sa’ar (GEIS) drew the largest single trade sweep in the market by a wide margin.
At 10:16 AM ET, a buyer swept 700 contracts across 3 fills totaling $350 — by far the most concentrated dollar commitment in this market on day one. Sa’ar now sits at 6c bid / 10c ask, reflecting a wide spread consistent with early-stage price discovery.
The next largest order came from Israel Katz (IKAT), who saw a 37-contract sweep across 4 fills at 12:24 PM ET worth $18. All flow in the IKAT contract has been YES-side, with the current quote at 23c bid / 27c ask.
The highest-priced candidate in the market is listed under the ticker NBEN, sitting at 25c bid / 26c ask after a single 25-contract YES buy worth $12 at 11:14 AM ET. That narrow spread suggests relatively firm early pricing for that candidate among traders.
Most other candidates — including Yair Lapid (YLAP) and Yuli Levin (YLEV) — saw smaller initial YES buys in the 20 to 42 contract range, with no NO pressure recorded anywhere in the market as of 1:07 PM ET.
The market resolves January 1, 2045. With all changes reflecting initial pricing and spreads still wide across most candidates, volume and tighter quotes will be the key things to watch as the market matures.
