Recent economic data and institutional forecasts underpin the 65.5% market-implied probability against a U.S. recession by end-2027. Analysts project real GDP expanding 2.1–2.6% in 2026 and similar rates into 2027, supported by AI capital spending, fiscal stimulus, tax cuts, and deregulation. The labor market remains resilient with unemployment near 4.3–4.5% and modest job gains, while June 2026 CPI eased to 3.5%. The Federal Reserve’s June projections hold the funds rate near 3.8% with patience on easing, reflecting contained downside risks. Forecasters assign only a 30–35% recession chance for 2026, citing policy tailwinds that outweigh sticky inflation and geopolitical pressures. Upcoming data releases and FOMC communications remain key near-term catalysts for sentiment.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if either of the following conditions is met:
1. The seasonally adjusted annualized percent change in quarterly U.S. real GDP from the previous quarter is less than 0.0 for two consecutive quarters between Q2 2025 and Q4 2027 (inclusive), as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
2. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) publicly announces that a recession has occurred in the United States, at any point during 2025, 2026, or 2027, with the announcement made by the time the BEA releases the advance estimate for Q4 2027.
Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Note that advance estimates will be considered. For example, if upon release, the advance estimate for Q3 2025 was negative, and the Q2 2025's most recent, up-to-date estimate was also negative, this market would resolve to "Yes". If on December 31, 2027 the latest estimate for quarterly GDP in Q3 2025 was negative, this market will stay open until the Advance estimate of Q4 2027 is published, at which point it will resolve to "Yes" if Q4 2027 was negative or if the NBER declares a recession by then.
