3 prediction markets price this story:
- Ukraine — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the U.S. State Department issues, updates, or reaffirms a level 3 or lower travel advisory for Ukraine before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if no such advisory occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about deportation reprieves as the resolution criteria, but only official U.S. State Department travel advisories count.
- Ukraine — the market puts it at 4%, with $205 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and stays within Ukraine’s borders between now and January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake a scheduled visit or a virtual meeting for physical presence.
- Ukraine signs peace deal with Russia by October 31? — resolved “No” on 1 Nov 2026. Ukraine must sign a written document that ends hostilities or sets a clear path to peace by October 31, 2026. The agreement must include both nations and cannot be a temporary ceasefire or limited to specific issues like prisoner exchanges. Readers often mistake the required source of truth for official government statements rather than credible news reporting.
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.
