Readers often mistake temporary suspensions or resignation announcements for permanent removal.
• Emmanuel Macron — the market puts it at 8%, with $154 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Emmanuel Macron officially announces his intention to leave office or actually leaves as President of France before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about energy prices for a resignation announcement, but only an official departure from the presidency counts toward resolution.
