Polymarket 14%

4-bullet brief | narrative
  • The Polymarket prediction market prices a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in 2026 at 14%, a clear long-shot despite active diplomacy.
  • Zelensky's push for an energy truce in talks with Trump shows diplomatic momentum, but Polymarket at 14% signals the market does not expect a formal ceasefire to materialize this year.
  • The companion Polymarket contract on Trump, Putin, and Zelensky being seen together before 2027 sits at only 8%, suggesting the market doubts even a summit, let alone a peace deal.
  • Resolves via Polymarket's uma_oracle upon confirmation of a formally agreed ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
