3 prediction markets price this story:

  • China — the market puts it at 1%, closing 31 Dec 2027. The market resolves to Yes if China records two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the start date for the beginning of 2025.
  • By 2030 — the market puts it at 14%, with $6 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2030. The market resolves to Yes if China's gross domestic product exceeds that of the United States by the year 2030. It resolves to No if China's GDP does not surpass the US total within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about rare earth processing for the actual resolution criteria, but only GDP figures determine the outcome.
  • Will China’s 2026 annual GDP growth (Y/Y) be between 6.0% and 7.0%? — the market puts it at 0%, closing 31 Jan 2027. The market resolves based on China’s full-year 2026 GDP growth rate from the National Bureau of Statistics’ preliminary accounting report in January 2027. The outcome is Yes if the annual year-over-year growth falls between 6.0% and 7.0%, inclusive. Readers often mistake the initial release for the final number, but only the data from that first publication counts; any subsequent revisions are ignored.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
