3 prediction markets price this story:
- Italy — the market puts it at 5%, with $19 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and is present within Italy between now and January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not meet this condition by that deadline. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Italian protests for the resolution criteria, but only Trump's physical presence in Italy matters.
- Italy — the market puts it at 10%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Italy officially recognizes Palestine before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about nuclear power for the relevant event, but only the recognition of Palestine counts.
- Giorgia Meloni — the market puts it at 41%, closing 22 Dec 2028. The market resolves to 'Yes' if Giorgia Meloni becomes Prime Minister of Italy following the next general election and meets all constitutional requirements before December 22, 2028. The outcome is 'No' if she does not assume the role under these conditions within the specified timeframe.
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.
