The markets say
Ruled out
Resolves Dec 31, 2026
the Fed’s lower bound reach 0.25% or lower before 2027
Market read: ruled out. The current economic conditions and inflation concerns make it unlikely for the Fed to lower interest rates to 0.25% or lower before 2027. With inflation still a concern, the Fed's focus remains on rate control — and potential hikes, rather than cuts, are on the table.
Why it matters
This matters because the Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates significantly impact the US economy — and with current inflation fears, the focus is more on potential rate hikes than cuts.
Very unlikely
Resolves Mar 31, 2026
Houthi strike on Israel by March 31, 2026
Market read: very unlikely. The probability of a Houthi strike on Israel has decreased slightly, possibly due to increased diplomatic efforts or military preparedness. Still, the situation remains volatile, and any miscalculation could lead to an escalation. The Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have been involved in a conflict with Israel, and the risk of a strike remains a concern for regional stability.
Why it matters
This matters because the Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have been involved in a conflict with Israel, and the risk of a strike remains a concern for regional stability. The recent attack mentioned in the headline indicates the ongoing nature of the conflict — and the potential for escalation.

Ruled out
Resolves Dec 31, 2025
NATO/EU troops fighting in Ukraine in June 30, 2026
Market read: ruled out. The probability of NATO or EU troops engaging in combat in Ukraine by June 30, 2026, remains very low. This is due to the cautious approach of Western countries to avoid direct confrontation with Russia. Meanwhile, the involvement of NATO or EU troops in Ukraine would significantly escalate the conflict — a scenario that, for now, seems unlikely.
Why it matters
This matters because the involvement of NATO or EU troops in Ukraine would significantly escalate the conflict. While some countries have discussed potential deployments under certain conditions, the current situation does not suggest imminent direct involvement — a cautious approach that reflects the complexity of the situation.
Ruled out
Resolves Jun 30, 2026
European country agrees to give Ukraine security guarantee by June 30?
Market read: ruled out. The probability remains low due to the ongoing conflict and lack of clear commitments from European countries. Recent headlines suggest a cautious approach from European nations, contributing to the stable low probability. The conflict in Ukraine has sparked discussions about potential security guarantees from European countries — but the complexity of the situation, and varying national interests, make such commitments unlikely in the near term.
Why it matters
This matters because the conflict in Ukraine has sparked discussions about potential security guarantees from European countries. Still, the complexity of the situation, and varying national interests, make such commitments unlikely in the near term — a challenge for regional stability.
Unlikely
Resolves Dec 31, 2027
Maduro guilty of all counts
Market read: unlikely. The probability of Nicolás Maduro being found guilty of all counts is relatively low, possibly reflecting the complexity of the legal process and the political nature of the charges. The legal proceedings against Nicolás Maduro are part of a broader geopolitical landscape — one where the outcome of such cases can have significant implications for international relations and regional stability.

The tape is cautious. The wires are noisy. Watch for liquidity and headlines to diverge. When prediction markets and wire services tell different stories, the resolution often arrives faster than either expected.
