3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Champi peak as a Very strong typhoon? — resolved “No” on 26 Oct 2026. The market resolves based on the highest intensity class the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) assigns to Typhoon Champi in its official published analyses. For the outcome "Yes" to occur, JMA must classify the storm as "Very strong" or higher at its peak. Readers often mistakenly rely on forecasts from other agencies or post-season data, but only real-time JMA classifications count for resolution.
  • Will China invade Taiwan by December 31, 2027? — the market puts it at 11%, with $339 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if China starts a military offensive to control any inhabited part of Taiwan by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if this does not happen within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline or assume uninhabited islands count toward the resolution.
  • Will China invade Taiwan by end of 2026? — the market puts it at 2%, with $87k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if China starts a military offensive to control any part of Taiwan by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if this does not happen within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline as the end of the day in local time rather than Eastern Time.

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.
