record: CMSIG2026091406 | category: momentum-repricing | target: CM-EVT-CSYS5KPXK6 | published: 2026-09-14

4-bullet brief | narrative

Ladder prices 50% above 60 yea votes and only 25% above 62, putting the market-implied vote count right on the cloture knife-edge.
Final text release with ethics provisions is consistent with last-minute vote-gathering; the market has not broken clearly above the 60-vote threshold.
The 64% probability above 55 votes versus 50% above 60 shows the market expects votes in the high 50s to low 60s as the modal outcome.
Polymarket law-by-2026 contract (CM-EVT-ZXN47LV744) at 29% reflects that clearing cloture still leaves House passage and presidential signature as hurdles.
