Probability
38%

China remains in a disinflation phase; GDP growth is below the 5% target; the property sector stays under stress. The PBoC has cut the 1-year LPR multiple times since 2022. LPR decisions are announced on the 20th of each month — 20 August 2026 is the next regular decision date. No Polymarket market available; estimate: ~40% probability based on historical pattern and persistently weak domestic demand.

Verdict: Miss
Die PBoC hat am 20. August 2026 den 1-Jahres-LPR unverändert bei 3,00% belassen (5-Jahres-LPR ebenfalls unverändert bei 3,50%). Es war bereits der 15. Monat in Folge ohne Änderung seit Juni 2025. Alle 25 befragten Marktteilnehmer einer Reuters-Umfrage hatten im Vorfeld ebenfalls keine Änderung erwartet. Eine Senkung um mindestens 10 Basispunkte fand nicht statt.

S&P 500 (^GSPC) closes above 7,450 points on 30 September 2026 (confirmed by NYSE closing price or Bloomberg by 30 September 2026)

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
