Why this matters:
This market estimates a 28% probability that the U.S. military will conduct an invasion of Cuba during 2026. The probability reflects current geopolitical conditions, U.S.-Cuba relations, and perceived likelihood of military escalation. Factors pushing the probability higher include ongoing hemispheric tensions and historical precedent of U.S. intervention in the region. Factors working against it include the diplomatic costs of invasion, Cuba's lack of immediate strategic threat to U.S. territory, and international legal constraints. The uncertainty will likely resolve through either direct military action or the completion of 2026 without invasion occurring. Key monitoring points include statements from U.S. political leadership, Cuban government actions, and developments in broader Caribbean security dynamics.

Key factors:
- Current U.S.-Cuba diplomatic relations status and any official policy statements regarding military options
- Presence or absence of a specific triggering incident (terrorism, hostile action, or military provocation attributed to Cuba)
- Statements and policy positions from U.S. leadership regarding intervention in the Western Hemisphere
- Activity levels at U.S. military bases and overseas deployment announcements relevant to Caribbean operations
- Trading volume and price movement in related contracts (U.S. invasion of Latin America broadly, Iran invasion) as indicator of broader conflict expectations
