2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will China's annual inflation in 2026 be between 0.6% and 1.0%? — the market puts it at 33%, with $376 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 10 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if China's annual inflation rate for the twelve months ending in December 2026 falls between 0.6% and 1.0%. The No outcome applies if that rate is outside this range. Readers often mistake the linked story about Singapore for relevant data, but resolution depends solely on the official Chinese National Bureau of Statistics report released in January 2027.
  • Will South African inflation be between 4.4% and 4.7% in 2026? — the market puts it at 35%, closing 21 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if Statistics South Africa reports annual consumer price inflation between 4.4% and 4.7% for the twelve months ending in December 2026. The No outcome applies if that specific figure falls outside that range or if no data is released by the deadline, in which case the last available month's data determines the result.

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.
