92% — Will France GDP growth rate QoQ prel for Q1 2026 be above 0.3%
Leader: Above -0.5% at 92% · Kalshi 92% · 13 contracts · $0 volume · medium confidence
Updated 2026-06-26 10:35:55 UTC

Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 13 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This market reflects a 94% probability that France's preliminary Q2 2026 GDP growth will exceed -0.5% quarter-over-quarter, indicating traders expect the economy to avoid a substantial contraction. The high probability reflects confidence in modest positive or near-flat growth rather than recession-level decline. Factors supporting this level include France's recent economic resilience and the relatively low threshold; downside risks include eurozone weakness, geopolitical shocks, or weaker-than-expected business/consumer activity. The resolution hinges on INSEE's preliminary GDP release for Q2 2026, typically published in early August 2026. The steep probability gradient across the contract band (78¢ at -0.1% to 94¢ at -0.5%) suggests market uncertainty clusters around slight negative to flat outcomes, not deeper contractions.

Key factors:
- INSEE preliminary Q2 2026 GDP release date (typically early August 2026) will definitively resolve the contract
- Market prices show 78% confidence in growth above -0.1%, dropping to 94% above -0.5%, indicating consensus uncertainty between slight contraction and flat growth
- The 0.4 percentage-point difference between the leading contract (94¢) and the -0.1% threshold (78¢) represents ~16¢ of probability mass, reflecting material divergence in central estimates
- Recent Q1 2026 preliminary data would have influenced current pricing; comparison to historical French QoQ GDP volatility (typically ±0.3%) is a baseline calibration
- Eurozone PMI releases, inflation data, and ECB policy signals between now and August 2026 will likely shift the probability as new growth indicators emerge

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
- No SimpleFunctions index / regime / calibration signal is bound to this topic yet — the headline above is market-derived only.
