Why the line sits here

The book is 2.55x right now and has not repriced yet.

  • Deadline pressure is high for this product ship date market, so the live line is tightening into the close.
  • Comparable product ship date markets have mostly missed, which compresses the current payout.
  • Linked cards have already missed, and that related history is dragging this line tighter too.
