What if Mexico's Morena wins a two-thirds supermajority?
Morena clinching a two-thirds supermajority enables unchecked constitutional rewrites — peso sells off and Mexican local bonds cheapen on rule-of-law erosion; short MXN and Mexbol, watch nearshoring-exposed names. The direct rhyme is June-2024's Sheinbaum-supermajority scare, when the peso gapped ~8% on judicial-reform fear. Transmission: the US is Mexico's dominant trade/FDI partner, so institutional risk threatens the nearshoring bid; the broad VIX cascade overstates US-equity spillover.
how we built this number — every step
The class rate is measured from our dated, sourced event library (decade-normalized Poisson — the full table is public at base_rates.json). The variant’s share within its class is the analyst’s editorial call, published so you can audit it. A wider range means thinner precedent. Full recipe: methodology · scored at Reality Check.

Resolution timeline — how this probability is moving
Our model's odds (gold) over time vs the crowd's (Polymarket, blue), from the past toward the 1–3 years horizon. Each dot is a real macro event that nudged the probability — green pushed it up, red pushed it down. Tap a dot for the source. The gold path is an illustrative reconstruction anchored to today's estimate — real dated events, not a live re-estimate history.
What it would mean
If this plays out, it is a risk-off shock. Morena sweeps the June 2027 midterms to a two-thirds supermajority, enabling unchecked constitutional rewrites; peso sells off on rule-of-law concerns. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — Geopolitical risk ▲ · EM currencies ▼ · Risk appetite ▼ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.
If it happens — the markets it would move
Biggest moves first. Projected moves are cascade-model priors; hist A–B% = what comparable past events actually did (measured abnormal returns), and model prior · unmeasured marks markets with no analogue backing yet. Tap any market for its price history.

Probable recommendation
Why we may diverge from history
Trust the cascade-short on COIN/MSTR; just 7 analogues and the 14-15% is BTC's 2024-25 bull regime, a Mexico rule-of-law shock won't reproduce that crypto-specific path.
Historical precedent — what analogous events actually did
Across 40 analogous events (overlap‑weighted), as abnormal returns — market beta stripped, so it's the event's own effect, not the market backdrop. Shown at 20 days (persistent) and 5 days (immediate); ↺ fades = the two horizons disagree. Confidence = consistency × sample × significance.

Why this probability
Morena two-thirds in 2027 midterms ambitious; supermajority already near, but full sweep uncertain. A base‑rate‑anchored prior, continuously scored against what actually happens — not a forecast.
