Predicted for 15. August 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
While Egypt and Qatar remain active mediators, negotiations over a comprehensive Gaza deal face significant domestic political pressure in Israel: Netanyahu's coalition partners Ben Gvir and Smotrich have repeatedly stated they would leave the government in the event of a ceasefire. Additionally, the active Iran-US military escalation (Brent USD 88.10/barrel as of 17 July) diverts strategic capacity on both sides. No specific Polymarket market for Gaza ceasefire by August 2026; based on negotiation dynamics, probability of a formally confirmed deal by 15 August is ~30%. This prediction bets on failure: 70% probability for no deal.

Verdict: Miss
Die Vorhersage trat nicht ein. Am 30./31. Juli 2026 – also noch vor dem 15. August – verkündete US-Präsident Trump ein 'historisches Abkommen' über die schrittweise Entwaffnung der Hamas in Gaza. Die Einigung wurde vom US-geführten 'Board of Peace' gemeinsam mit Ägypten, Katar und der Türkei als Vermittler bestätigt (Quellen: Al Jazeera, France 24, CNN, Euronews, Atlantic Council). Hamas stimmte dem Dekommissionierungsplan (stufenweise Waffenabgabe gekoppelt an israelischen Rückzug) zu. Damit stagnieren die Verhandlungen nicht – es wurde ein formal bestätigter Deal mit Mediatorenbeteiligung abgeschlossen, was die Kernbedingung der Vorhersage widerlegt. Einschränkend ist festzuhalten: Israel hat den Deal nicht öffentlich mitgezeichnet, und Hamas drohte mit Nichtumsetzung, falls Israel seinen Rückzugsverpflichtungen nicht nachkomme – dies spricht für erhebliche Umsetzungsprobleme, macht den Deal jedoch nicht inexistent. Die Vorhersage scheiterte vor allem daran, dass die Trump-Administration (Board of Peace) den Verhandlungsrahmen neu gestaltete und Hamas durch das Entwaffnungs-Angebot einen Ausweg aus der Blockade ermöglichte – ein geopolitischer Faktor, der in der Prognose nicht berücksichtigt wurde.

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.

With 97% of votes counted, Republican incumbent Roger Wicker leads by just 28 votes per NBC News live results (04.11.2026) — one of the closest Senate races in history. Mississippi election law requires an automatic recount when the margin falls below 0.5% of total votes, expected to conclude by 15–20 November. The remaining 3% of ballots originate primarily from rural precincts with historically higher Republican turnout, giving Wicker a slight statistical edge. No specific Polymarket market for Mississippi was identified.

Polymarket gives Peltola a 72% win probability (as of November 3, 2026). The Democrat benefits from Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting system, which structurally favors cross-partisan candidates, as well as strong support from the Indigenous population and Alaska Native organizations. The national environment weighs on Sullivan: Polymarket gives Democrats a 72–77% probability of winning the Senate majority and 95% in the House. Early mail-ballot returns show a slight pro-Democratic lean in Alaska. Because Alaska uses ranked choice, a final count is not expected until November 5.
