Fair Value Reasoning:
For March 17 (Tuesday), the deadline (6:30 PM ET) has passed. The market price of 99.9c indicates a Full Lid was called on time; the 'Iran War' context likely forced the cancellation or truncation of traditional St. Patrick's Day evening galas, effectively resolving the contract. March 18 (Wednesday) shows no scheduled evening events and, amidst a wartime footing, the President is likely to remain at the White House for daytime briefings with an early evening lid highly probable (Fair Value 90c). March 19 (Thursday) appears to be a standard workday with no flagged evening events. March 20 (Friday) presents a significant divergence: while typically a travel day to Mar-a-Lago (implying a late lid/No), recent news (AP) quotes Trump stating it is 'important that I be here' in DC due to the Iran conflict. If travel is cancelled, Friday lids in DC are typically called early. Thus, the probability of 'Yes' is substantially higher than the market's travel-based pricing (36c), valued here at 55c. March 21 (Saturday) remains neutral dependent on war updates.

Exotics
This is a highly niche market focusing on specific administrative operational details of the White House Press Office (when they call it a day). For the general public, this is an obscure topic, primarily appealing to political news junkies or forecasters who specialize in White House scheduling.
Movers
March 16-17, 2026, the price for March 17 surged from 39c to 99.9c as the day progressed, confirming the absence of traditional St. Patrick's Day evening receptions due to the 'Iran War' schedule, leading to a Full Lid call before the deadline. March 16-17, 2026, March 20 experienced a flash crash, dropping from 49c to 5.5c before rebounding to 33c, likely caused by a liquidity gap or an overreaction to Friday travel expectations (which favor 'No') followed by a correction. March 14-16, 2026, the price for March 18 surged from 13c to 72c as rumored Wednesday evening events vanished from the schedule, shifting focus to daytime war briefings and increasing the likelihood of an 'early lid'.
Divergence
A significant divergence exists for March 20 (Friday). The market price (36c) reflects the standard assumption of a 'Mar-a-Lago travel day,' where the lid is customarily called upon arrival in Florida (post-6:30 PM), resulting in 'No'. However, mainstream media (AP) reports that due to the ongoing Iran war (Operation Epic Fury), Trump has implied he will postpone travel and stay in Washington ('I think it's important that I be here'). If he remains at the White House, Friday lids are typically called early, making the probability of 'Yes' significantly higher than the market implies.
