Context

Aug 9, 2026

Probability fell from 26.5% to 19.0% — a 7.5-point move over the past day.

The probability has moved from 7.5% to 14.5% over the observed period, with a 0.0 pts shift in the last day. It currently stands at 11.5%. The market resolves to ‘Yes’ if, by the designated deadline, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) issue a publicly announced and mutually agreed halt in military engagement. A peace deal or political framework qualifies only if it includes an explicit, dated commitment to stop fighting. Informal accords and humanitarian pauses do not count. Resolution relies on official statements from both parties, though wide consensus among credible media reports is sufficient. The probability reflects the market’s assessment of whether a ceasefire meeting these criteria will materialize before the deadline. Formal triggers include the release of joint or separate official announcements, credible media reports of an agreement, and the approach of the resolution date without an accord.

FAQ

What exactly constitutes an official ceasefire for this market?

A publicly announced, mutually agreed halt to military engagement between the RSF and SAF, effective by a specific date. Either joint or separate statements from the two forces meet the test.

Do humanitarian pauses or informal truces count?

No. Only formal, explicit ceasefire agreements qualify. Humanitarian pauses and informal arrangements are excluded.

How does a peace deal or political framework affect the outcome?

A peace deal or framework resolves the market as ‘Yes’ if it includes a clear, dated commitment to stop fighting. Vague plans for future peace without an immediate cessation are insufficient.

What happens if one side claims a ceasefire but the other denies it?

The market requires mutual agreement. Resolution will be based on credible media consensus if official announcements are contradictory or absent.
