Predicted for 31. October 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
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.

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.

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

Ukrainian, US, and Russian negotiators convene November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. Russia conducted large-scale long-range strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and logistics hubs on November 3–4; Ukraine responded with drone strikes on the Ryazan refinery. Positions on territory and security guarantees remain far apart. No Polymarket or Kalshi market covers this specific event; historical base rate for failure of comparable trilateral talks: >80%.

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.
