Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Polymarket prices 88% probability for German GDP growth ≥0.4% QoQ in Q2 2026 (as of 25 Jul 2026). Supporting factors: Germany recorded +0.3% QoQ in Q1 2026, and the Eurozone Manufacturing PMI surged to 51.9 in July 2026 – a four-year high for German industry. Despite energy price pressure from the Iran conflict, stable domestic demand and fading recession fears signal an acceleration in Q2. Risk: a negative surprise before July 30 could push the print below 0.4%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket: 88% Wahrscheinlichkeit für ≥0,4% QoQ (Stand 25.07.2026)

Destatis veröffentlichte am 30. Juli 2026 die Schnellschätzung für das deutsche BIP Q2 2026: +0,2 % QoQ (preis-, saison- und kalenderbereinigt) – also deutlich unter der Schwelle von ≥0,4 %, die die Vorhersage verlangte. Quellen: Destatis-Pressemitteilung PD26_269_811 (destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2026/07/PD26_269_811.html) und Xinhua/FXStreet. Das Wachstum lag zwar über den Analystenschätzungen von +0,1 %, verfehlte aber den Zielwert der Vorhersage um 0,2 Prozentpunkte. Hauptursachen: schwache Binnennachfrage und rückläufige Investitionen; nur Exporte stützten das Wachstum. Der Q1-2026-Wert wurde nachträglich von +0,3 % auf +0,4 % nach oben revidiert, ändert aber nichts am Q2-Ergebnis.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
