3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva — the market puts it at 18%, with $79k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 25 Oct 2027. The outcome is Yes if Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins the 2026 Brazilian presidential election. The outcome is No if he does not win that specific election. Readers often mistake the linked news headline for the resolution criteria, but only the official result of the 2026 vote matters.
  • Will Lula win the most votes in the second round of the Brazil presidential election from abroad? — the market puts it at 67%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 26 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if Lula receives more valid votes from voters outside Brazil than any other candidate in the second round of the election. The No outcome applies if another candidate gets the most votes abroad or if the results are not finalized by June 30, 2027. Readers often mistake the source of truth; only official data from the Superior Electoral Court counts, not preliminary reports or media estimates.
  • Lula flips Bolsonaro for Brazil president by October 15? — the market puts it at 0%, with $8k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 16 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Lula’s odds exceed Bolsonaro’s on PredictionMarketOdds.com for four consecutive hourly updates before October 16, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. The source of truth is strictly the data published by PredictionMarketOdds.com, not news reports or other platforms.

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.
