Predicted for 31. December 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
Nikkei 225 stands at approximately 63,844 points on September 12, 2026 — under short-term pressure from the expected US Fed hike (September 16) and BOJ hike (September 18). Year-on-year performance for 2026 is nevertheless an impressive +43.77%. Reaching 68,000 requires +6.5% over approximately 3.5 months. Japanese structural reforms (corporate governance, wage growth, TSE reform) provide structural market support. Historically, a recovery follows the rate hike shock in September/October. No Polymarket contract for Nikkei year-end known; own estimate: approximately 42%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Nikkei 225: ~63.844 Punkte am 12. September 2026, YoY +43,77% (Vantage Markets, Sunday Guardian Live)

EUR/USD traded at 1.1592 on 11 September 2026. FOMC decides on 16 September with a 69.3% probability of a 25bp hike (CME FedWatch) or 56–58% on Polymarket/Kalshi. Even a fully priced-in hike would likely push EUR/USD to 1.153–1.157; an aggressively hawkish signal would be needed to break below 1.1500. Historically, a priced-in 25bp hike moves EUR/USD on decision day by at most ±0.5%. The existing forecast EUR/USD >1.1400 on 19 September is logically consistent with this prediction.

DAX closed at 25,339 points on 10 September 2026. A decline of over 1.7% would be required by Monday 15 September to breach 24,900. FOMC does not meet until Tuesday 16 September (69.3% hike probability per CME FedWatch), so there is no immediate Fed risk on Monday. Supportive: Brent crude at ~104 USD/barrel supports energy stocks. Risk: escalating Middle East conflict or unexpectedly weak US data over the weekend.

Bitcoin traded at USD 77,266 on 11 September 2026. The year-end target of >USD 90,000 corresponds to a rise of ~16.5% from current levels. Supporting factors: continued institutional spot ETF inflows, aftermath of the April 2024 halving (historically: 12–18 month carry-on rally), and potential Fed pause in winter after autumn hikes. Headwinds: FOMC rate hike trajectory, regulatory risks, general risk aversion. No direct year-end Polymarket market found; Kalshi shows September 2026 >USD 85,000 at 48 cents — year-end extrapolation based on implied volatility parameters yields ~33%. Analogous to the open Ethereum >USD 4,000 year-end prediction.
