3 prediction markets price this story:

  • US x China tariff agreement by September 30? — resolved “Yes” on 27 Sept 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the US and China publicly announce a mutual tariff agreement by November 29, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Informal statements or unilateral actions do not count; only a finalized, mutually acknowledged deal qualifies. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a temporary truce for a permanent agreement, but this market requires a formal, lasting resolution.
  • China — the market puts it at 13%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a free trade deal with China becomes law through Senate ratification and Presidential approval, or via a Congressional-Executive Agreement signed by the President before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the announcement of talks for the actual passage of legislation.
  • Before Oct 1, 2026 — resolved “Yes” on 24 Sept 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the United States and China publicly announce or confirm a new mutual tariff agreement between now and October 1, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked headline's January 10 date for the final deadline, but the actual cutoff is October 1, 2026.
