Recent Office for National Statistics data showing 0.6% UK GDP expansion in Q1 2026—the strongest quarterly pace in a year—has anchored trader sentiment against a recession this year, outweighing earlier concerns over Middle East-driven energy price spikes. Consensus forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility, IMF, and Bank of England project full-year 2026 growth between 0.8% and 1.1%, supported by a labor market that saw unemployment ease to 4.9% and resilient household balance sheets. Elevated CPI inflation at 3.3% prompted the Bank of England to hold Bank Rate at 3.75% in April, tightening financial conditions modestly but avoiding aggressive hikes that could tip output negative. Key near-term catalysts include the Q2 GDP release and June Monetary Policy Committee decision, where sustained positive readings would further embed the market-implied 60% probability of avoiding two consecutive quarters of contraction.
Résumé expérimental généré par IA à partir des données Polymarket. Ceci n'est pas un conseil de trading et ne joue aucun rôle dans la résolution de ce marché. · Mis à jourThis market includes estimates reported in both the Office for National Statistics’ GDP first quarterly estimate, UK releases and the updated GDP quarterly national accounts, UK releases for the relevant quarters. Monthly GDP estimates will not be considered.
This market’s resolution will be based on the most recently available qualifying estimates for the relevant quarters at the time of each relevant release. Any two consecutive quarters with qualifying negative GDP growth will be sufficient for a “Yes” resolution, regardless of prior or later revisions.
For example, if upon release the relevant estimate for Q2 2026 is negative, and Q1 2026’s most recently available qualifying estimate is also negative, this market will resolve to “Yes”. If the relevant estimate for Q2 2026 is negative, and the initial estimate for Q1 2026 was negative, but Q1 2026’s most recently available qualifying estimate at the time of the Q2 release is positive, this will not qualify.
This market will resolve as soon as a qualifying recession occurs. If no qualifying recession has occurred and the most recently available qualifying estimates for both Q3 2026 and Q4 2026 are positive at the time of the release of the GDP first quarterly estimate, UK for Q4 2026, this market will resolve to “No” at that time. If the most recently available qualifying estimate for either Q3 2026 or Q4 2026 is negative at that time, this market will remain open until the GDP quarterly national accounts, UK release for Q4 2026 is published. If that release is not published by April 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on the available qualifying data at that time.
The resolution source for this market will be the Office for National Statistics, specifically its "GDP first quarterly estimate, UK" and "GDP quarterly national accounts, UK" releases for the relevant quarters.
