One prediction market prices this story:

  • Friedrich Merz out as Chancellor of Germany before September 30, 2026 — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if Friedrich Merz stops being Chancellor at any point before September 30, 2026, or if he announces his resignation or removal before that deadline. The No outcome applies if he remains in office through the entire period. Readers often mistake the announcement date for the effective date, but an early announcement triggers a Yes resolution regardless of when the change officially takes effect.

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.
