The US-Iran conflict and associated energy price shock from Strait of Hormuz disruptions represent the dominant downward pressure on 2026 global GDP growth, with the IMF’s July update cutting its forecast to 3.0% from 3.1% in April amid higher oil prices and stalled disinflation. This drag is partially offset by robust AI infrastructure spending that has lifted US, Chinese, and Asian tech-export growth, supporting the Conference Board’s 2.8% August projection and World Bank’s 2.5% June outlook. With market-implied odds tightly clustered at 3.0–3.1% and the ≤2.9% bucket at 20.4%, traders appear to price the IMF baseline most heavily while weighing risks of prolonged geopolitical tensions against further productivity gains from technology investment. Key near-term catalysts include any de-escalation in energy markets and upcoming Q3 data releases that could shift the balance between these forces.

The relevant figure may be found in the table titled “World Economic Outlook Growth Projections” under “Estimate” in the row “World Output” and the column “2026”. Changes in the IMF’s World Economic Outlook reporting format will not disqualify a published figure from counting.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.imf.org/en/publications/weo
If no estimate of the 2026 annual percent change in world real GDP is released in a World Economic Outlook Update between the October 2026 and April 2027 editions of the World Economic Outlook, this market will resolve according to the published figure for 2026 annual percent change in World real GDP in the April 2027 edition of the World Economic Outlook. If no such figure is published by April 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, another credible resolution source will be chosen.
If multiple World Economic Outlook Updates are released between the October 2026 and April 2027 editions of the World Economic Outlook, this market will resolve based on the first such publication which includes an estimate of the 2026 annual percent change in World GDP. Projections of World GDP, however, will not be considered.
Note: data from the initial release of the referenced GDP report is what will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following release or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to GDP report data made after the initial release will not be considered for this market's resolution.
Note: the resolution source for this market reports annual percent change in world real GDP to one decimal point (e.g. 3.3%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
