The expiration of the New START treaty on February 5, 2026, without an immediate successor has shaped trader views on prospects for a new U.S.-Russia nuclear arms control agreement. President Trump has prioritized negotiating a modernized bilateral or trilateral pact that includes China and addresses all warheads plus verification gaps left after Russia's 2023 suspension of inspections and data exchanges. Russian officials have signaled willingness to observe prior numerical limits temporarily if the U.S. reciprocates and avoids steps like expanded missile defenses, though talks remain preliminary amid broader diplomatic frictions. Any near-term deal would likely require progress on nonstrategic weapons and dispute mechanisms before scheduled diplomatic engagements later in 2026 could shift implied probabilities.

Only agreements that are publicly announced and acknowledged by both the U.S. and Russia will qualify. The agreement must pertain to nuclear arms control or limitation—such as a treaty, framework, or memorandum—addressing matters including (but not limited to) nuclear warheads, delivery systems, verification mechanisms, or strategic stability.
An extension, amendment, or replacement of the New START treaty will qualify, provided it is publicly announced as a concluded agreement by both parties within the time frame. Exploratory discussions or stated intent to extend without a finalized agreement will not qualify.
Agreements that include both the United States and Russia as named parties—whether bilateral or as part of a broader multilateral framework—will qualify, provided the agreement directly addresses nuclear arms control.
The agreement does not need to be ratified or implemented for this market to resolve "Yes"; a formal announcement of a concluded agreement is sufficient.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government (e.g., the White House, State Department) and/or the Russian Federation (e.g., the Kremlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.
