4-bullet brief | narrative
  • The Polymarket contract on Russia and Ukraine reaching a ceasefire in 2026 sits at 14%, still a long shot.
  • Zelenskyy's energy truce proposal and Trump's comment that both sides are ready represent positive signals, yet the market prices only a 14% chance of a full ceasefire.
  • The gap between diplomatic noise and the 14% ceasefire probability reflects market skepticism that an energy truce converts to a broader peace deal this year.
  • The Polymarket contract on Zelenskyy being out as Ukraine president by end of 2026 sits at 6%, suggesting the market does not see leadership change as a resolution path.
