Context

Probability rose from 4.5% to 6.5% — a 2.0-point move over the past day.
The probability has traced a low, narrow path with no breakout. Over the past day, the market nudged +1.0 pts. It has oscillated between 4.5% and 11.0% over the life of the contract. To resolve 'Yes', both Israel and Lebanon must formally announce diplomatic relations on or before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The primary sources are official statements from the two governments, though a consensus of credible reporting can also settle the contract. Without such an announcement, the market resolves 'No'. The fixed deadline of Jan 1, 2027 anchors the contract. Any formal signal—an official communiqué, a joint statement, or verified press accounts confirming normalisation—would instantly recalibrate the odds. Until then, the probability reflects the absence of such a trigger.
FAQ
What satisfies the “establishment of diplomatic relations” for resolution?
The market resolves “Yes” only if both Israel and Lebanon officially announce diplomatic ties. A one-sided announcement or unofficial talks do not suffice.
What happens if the two governments issue contradictory statements?
The primary source is official information from both countries. If they contradict, the resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting. The market may remain unresolved until a clear consensus emerges.
Does a partial agreement, such as a trade deal, trigger a “Yes”?
No. The requirement is a formal announcement of full diplomatic relations. Partial agreements or trade deals do not meet the condition unless they explicitly include recognition and diplomatic relations.
What sources are considered “credible reporting”?
The description does not specify which outlets, but typically, major international news agencies and trusted regional sources that achieve a consensus would be considered. The final determination rests with the market's resolution authority.
When is the final deadline?
The contract expires on December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Any announcement after that time will not count.
