Predicted for 31. December 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
Polymarket prices the chance of a US-Iran nuclear deal before 2027 at 35%, implying a 65% probability of no deal by year-end. Both sides are negotiating on core issues historically extremely complex: uranium enrichment limits (Iran demands the right to enrich), IAEA verification, disposal of existing HEU stockpiles, and comprehensive sanctions relief. US domestic political resistance (Senate requires 67 votes for ratification) and IRGC opposition to concessions make rapid agreement difficult. JCPOA negotiations lasted 2013–2015; a new deal by year-end 2026 appears unrealistic. Polymarket sees 35% for 'deal before 2027'.
Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket: 'US-Iran nuclear deal before 2027' = 35 % Ja (Stand Juli 2026)
- Polymarket: 'US-Iran nuclear deal before September 2026' = 0 % (Stand Juli 2026)

After the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing (May 2026), Trump formally invited President Xi for 'late September' at the White House (date under discussion: 24 September). Bloomberg reported on 20 July 2026 that Secretary of State Rubio confirmed the visit as 'still on' despite Trump's recent remarks. China signalled on 24 July (Bloomberg) it would look past the new US tariffs (12.5% since 25 July) ahead of the visit. Risk factor: escalating trade tensions or US-Iran flare-up could delay the visit. No direct Polymarket market; own estimate ~65%.

Georgia CD-13 is one of the most Democratic congressional districts in the US (Cook PVI D+38; Fulton, Douglas and DeKalb Counties; Biden +65% in 2020). David Scott (D) held the seat since 2003. The special election fills the remainder of his term. In a district with such an extreme partisan lean, the Democratic candidate is essentially unbeatable. No specific Polymarket market; own estimate 92% based on historical election results.

Polymarket shows Gadi Eizenkot (National Unity) as the favourite to become Israel's next Prime Minister at 53% probability (as of July 27, 2026; $30M trading volume), with Benjamin Netanyahu at 34%. Eizenkot, former IDF Chief of Staff and war cabinet member, is seen as a credible security expert with broader coalition viability. Sustained public dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's management of the Gaza war and the escalated Iran conflict (US air strikes since Q2 2026) weigh heavily on the current government. Most observers expect Israeli snap elections still in 2026. Own probability anchored to Polymarket at 50% (slight discount for timing uncertainty).
