  • Above $4.3 trillion — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if France's nominal GDP exceeds $4.3 trillion in 2026. It resolves to No if that threshold is not met. Readers often mistake this for a measure of current economic performance rather than the specific forecast for 2026.
  • Will Sébastien Lecornu win the 2027 French presidential election? — the market puts it at 0%, with $24k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 19 Apr 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if Sébastien Lecornu wins the 2027 French presidential election as determined by a consensus of credible reporting or official results from the French Ministry of the Interior. The No outcome applies if he does not win, including scenarios where another candidate secures over 50% in the first round or wins the runoff.

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.
