3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Israel — the market puts it at 13%, with $52 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and stays inside Israel between now and January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about arms sales for the resolution criteria, but only Trump's physical presence matters.
  • China — the market puts it at 13%, 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.
  • India / Indian — the market puts it at 99%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Nov 2026. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump states India or Indian after October 1, 2026, and before November 1, 2026. The outcome is No if he does not make that statement within this specific timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the date of the linked news story rather than the future window specified in the rules.

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.
