2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Emmanuel Macron be the next leader out before 2027? — the market puts it at 1%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. Yes resolves if Emmanuel Macron permanently leaves his office before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. No resolves if he remains in power through that deadline or serves only as a caretaker. Readers often mistake temporary suspensions or resignation announcements for permanent removal.
  • Above $4.3 trillion — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if France's nominal GDP exceeds $4.3 trillion in 2026. It resolves to No if that threshold is not met. Readers often mistake this for a measure of current economic performance rather than the specific forecast for 2026.

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.
