Context
The forecast settled at 9.0%, with markets viewing the outcome as unlikely. Trading has ranged from 7.5% to 18.5%. The market will resolve to ‘Yes’ if both countries officially announce the establishment of diplomatic ties by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. If no such announcement occurs by then, it resolves to ‘No’. Resolution relies primarily on official government information, though a consensus of credible reporting can also be used. The price reflects the time left until Jan 1, 2027 and the requirement for an official announcement. Any indication of formal diplomatic progress—or its absence—directly affects the odds, as settlement hinges entirely on an announcement by the deadline.
