CME FedWatch: 78.1% probability of no change at the July 28–29 FOMC meeting, but a notable 21.9% probability of a rate hike is priced in (persistent inflation from energy/Middle East). Polymarket: 78% probability of 0 additional cuts in 2026. Base case is a hold — a hike would be a surprise but is not ruled out.

Verdict: Hit

Die Fed hat den Leitzins am 29. Juli 2026 erwartungsgemäß unverändert bei 3,50–3,75 % belassen. Das FOMC stimmte 9:3 für einen Hold – fünftes Meeting in Folge ohne Änderung. Drei Regionalbank-Präsidenten (Hammack, Kashkari, Logan) votierten für eine Erhöhung um 25 Basispunkte, was sich mit dem in der Vorhersage erwähnten Risiko eines Hikes deckt (21,9 % CME-Wahrscheinlichkeit). Die Basisannahme eines Holds trat ein, die erhöhte Inflation (Energie/Nahost) führte lediglich zu den Gegenstimmen, nicht zum Hike.

Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives more than 18.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by Berlin Returning Officer or tagesschau.de by 21 September 2026)

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026): FDP falls below 5.0% of valid votes and fails to enter the Abgeordnetenhaus (confirmed by Berlin returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Swedish Riksdag election (September 13, 2026): Liberalerna (L) falls below 4.0% and fails to clear the parliamentary threshold (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by September 14, 2026)

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
