Predicted for 22. July 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The Nikkei fell to 64,141 on July 17, 2026 (–4.03% on the day, sharpest single-day decline in weeks), from 67,744 on July 14. Drivers: global semiconductor selloff (NVIDIA –2.4%), AI valuation concerns. At the July 22 open (Monday), the political shock of the Sangiin election hits an already stressed market: LDP-Komeito losing its majority typically strengthens the yen (risk-off), weighing on export-heavy index components. No direct Polymarket market available; own estimate. An open prediction sets the threshold at <65,500 — this prediction is 3% lower.

Verdict: Miss
Der Nikkei 225 schloss am 22. Juli 2026 bei 66.115,60 Punkten (−116,59 Punkte / −0,18 %) – damit lag er rund 2.615 Punkte oberhalb der Schwelle von 63.500. Die Vorhersage war deutlich zu pessimistisch: Statt eines politisch getriebenen Ausverkaufs stieg der Index im Vormittagshandel sogar um +1.278 Punkte auf 67.511 (getragen u. a. von Advantest), bevor Gewinnmitnahmen am Nachmittag die Gewinne fast vollständig auflösten. Der befürchtete starke Yen-Schock durch den LDP-Koalitions-Verlust bei der Sangiin-Wahl materialisierte sich nicht in dem Ausmaß, das für einen Fall unter 63.500 nötig gewesen wäre.

The DAX closed at 25,562 points on September 9, 2026. A gain of +1.7% is required by month-end.

Polymarket shows a 53% probability for a 25 basis point hike as of September 10, 2026. US Core CPI August 2026 (release September 11) is expected by market consensus to be above 3.0% YoY. The ECB raised its deposit rate by 25 bps to 2.50% on September 10, 2026 – an inflation-fighting signal that provides cover for the Fed. Against a hike: a mild slowdown in US industrial output. CME FedWatch also shows ~53% probability for a hike.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
