3 prediction markets price this story:

Lula, Eizenkot, Democrats — the market puts it at 27%, with $419 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 27 Oct 2027. The market resolves to Yes only if Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva serves as Brazil President, Gadi Eizenkot serves as Israel Prime Minister, and Democrats control the U.S. Senate. The outcome is No if any of these three conditions fail. Readers often mistake the linked news headline about Lula for sufficient proof, but they must verify the status of both the Israeli Prime Minister and the U.S. Senate.
Will Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva be the next leader out before 2027? — the market puts it at 0%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome requires Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to permanently leave his office before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Temporary removals, caretaker roles, or mere resignation announcements do not count toward this result. Readers often mistake the deadline as the end of 2027, but the market resolves based on events occurring before the end of 2026.
Before Mar 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 9%, closing 1 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Jair Bolsonaro receives a pardon, clemency, or equivalent official act of legal forgiveness from a competent authority before March 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story about Lula’s victory as the resolution trigger, but only an official act of forgiveness for Bolsonaro counts.

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.
