Probability

72%

Copper trades at ~$6.47/lb on 12 September 2026, up 41.2% year-on-year and near all-time highs. Structural demand drivers (EVs, green energy infrastructure, AI data centre build-out) provide sustained long-term support. Short-term headwinds include a ~5% single-session drop on US tariff reconsideration news and a −1.93% monthly reading. For copper to close below $6.20 at year-end, a further ~4.2% decline would be needed — unlikely given structural demand. No Polymarket market found for this specific level.

S&P 500 (^GSPC) closes above 7,580 points on 17 September 2026 (FOMC rate decision day)

The S&P 500 stands at ~7,726.56 on 12 September 2026 (prior close: 7,656.98). Polymarket prices an 79% chance of a 25bp Fed hike to 3.75–4.00% on 17 September. A fully anticipated move typically causes no severe sell-off; falling below 7,580 would require a ~1.9% drop over four trading days — unlikely given the high degree of pre-pricing. No direct Polymarket market for this index level; calibrated on current level and implicit FOMC pricing.
