Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 25. July 2026 · Predicted for 31. October 2026 · Based on: Speculative

Probability

42%

The US imposed new Section 301 tariffs of 12.5% on Chinese goods in 2026; China announced countermeasures. Possible summit platforms: UN General Assembly September 2026, G20 November 2026, or bilateral. Precedent: Trump-Xi meeting in Osaka (G20 2019) during a trade dispute. Both sides have signaled willingness to negotiate. Polymarket: no specific market for this event; estimate 42% – strong incentive to meet, but timing and Taiwan/South China Sea escalation risk are uncertain.

China-Philippinen Südchinesisches Meer: Zwischenfall 24.07.2026 Scarborough Shoal (Al Jazeera/CNN, 24.07.2026)
Trump-Xi G20 Osaka Präzedenz: Handelseinigung 2019 (Reuters, Juni 2019)
Polymarket US-China Trade War: kein spezifischer Gipfelmarkt gefunden (Stand 25.07.2026)

Verdict: Hit

Die Vorhersage ist eindeutig eingetreten – sogar zweifach: (1) Trump besuchte Xi Jinping in Peking am 13.–15. Mai 2026 (bestätigt durch das Weiße Haus: whitehouse.gov Fact Sheet vom Mai 2026); (2) Xi Jinping besuchte Washington D.C. am 23.–25. September 2026 für einen weiteren Gipfel (whitehouse.gov Fact Sheet September 2026). Handel war zentrales Thema beider Treffen. Die Section-301-Zölle von 12,5 % (auf Zwangsarbeit bezogene Duty, wirksam ab 24. Juli 2026) existierten ebenfalls, wie von der USTR bestätigt. Die angenommene Wahrscheinlichkeit von 42 % war damit deutlich zu niedrig.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

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.

Roger Wicker (Republican) retains the US Senate seat in Mississippi after recount — confirmed by AP or NBC News by 20 November 2026

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.

Mary Peltola (Democrat) wins the US Senate seat in Alaska against Dan Sullivan (Republican) — US Midterm Elections November 3, 2026 (confirmed by AP or NBC News by November 5, 2026)

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.
