Alphabet meldete am 22. Juli 2026 einen GAAP-EPS von 9,11 USD – ein massiver nominaler Beat gegenüber dem Konsens von ~2,87–2,89 USD. Dieser Wert war jedoch durch einen einmaligen, nicht-operativen Gewinn von rund 99 Mrd. USD auf Beteiligungspapiere aufgebläht, hauptsächlich durch die Neubewertung des ~14-%-Anteils an Anthropic (Bewertung stieg von 380 auf 965 Mrd. USD nach einer 65-Mrd.-USD-Finanzierungsrunde). Das bereinigte operative EPS – das die Vorhersage explizit adressierte – lag bei ca. 2,85 USD und verfehlte damit den Konsens von ~2,87 USD knapp. Umsatz (119,8 Mrd. USD, +24 % YoY) und Cloud-Umsatz (+82 % auf 24,8 Mrd. USD) schlugen die Erwartungen deutlich. Da die Vorhersage spezifisch auf den 'bereinigten EPS-Konsens' abzielte und dieser mit ~2,85 USD leicht verfehlt wurde, gilt die Vorhersage als nicht eingetreten.

Polymarket shows a 53% probability for a 25 basis point hike as of September 10, 2026. US Core CPI August 2026 (release September 11) is expected by market consensus to be above 3.0% YoY. The ECB raised its deposit rate by 25 bps to 2.50% on September 10, 2026 – an inflation-fighting signal that provides cover for the Fed. Against a hike: a mild slowdown in US industrial output. CME FedWatch also shows ~53% probability for a hike.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
