One prediction market prices this story:
- Japan — resolved “Yes” on 2 Nov 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if Japan experiences two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistakenly believe that any single quarter of negative growth is sufficient for a "Yes" resolution.
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.
