Predicted for 3. November 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Polymarket rates Democrats as clear favourites to control the House after the 2026 midterms (trade volume: USD 8.7M as of July 21, 2026). Generic-ballot polls show a 5–6-point Democratic lead (June 2026). Historically, the president's party loses ~26 House seats at midterms; Republicans hold a narrow majority and would need to limit losses to single digits. All 435 seats are up. Note: Democratic Senate majority is already a separate platform prediction; the House is a distinct contest.

BoJ holds its key rate at 1.00% at the July 30/31 meeting (existing open prediction). For the rest of 2026, 71% of surveyed economists expect another hike to 1.25% by end-Q4 2026 (Yahoo Finance Singapore / CryptoBriefing, June 2026). Median forecast from 51 economists points to October as the most plausible timing. Drivers: yen depreciation to USD/JPY 163 is elevating imported inflation; Japan CPI persistently above 2% target. Bloomberg reported in June 2026 that BoJ is considering another hike in 2026. Risk: global slowdown could give BoJ pause.

Current polls (Polara, as of July 2026) show Liberalerna (L) at just 1% — far below Sweden's 4% electoral threshold. The party is part of the Tidökoalitionen government (M, SD, KD, L) under PM Ulf Kristersson but has been losing relevance for years. Falling below 4% would deprive the Tidö coalition of its parliamentary majority: the right bloc polls ~44% versus ~47% for the left bloc. About 7 weeks remain until the 13 September election; recovering from 1% to ≥4% would require trebling vote share — historically rare in Swedish short-term polling trends. No Polymarket market for Sweden 2026; own calibration 72%.

François Bayrou has been PM since January 2025 without a parliamentary majority. He most recently survived a no-confidence motion in June 2026 with approx. 50 votes to spare (Reuters, June 2026). Critically, the National Assembly enters regular summer recess from late June and does not reconvene until October (Art. 28 of the Fifth Republic constitution). Extraordinary sessions can be called but are rarely used for censure motions as they would be politically costly for Macron. The structural risk of a successful no-confidence vote over the remaining six weeks to August 31 is therefore low. No Polymarket contract; assessment based on constitutional law and current political balance.
