Will Germany GDP growth in Q1 2026 be between 0.4% and 0.6%?

This market shows extreme mispricing with a 29¢ price implying only 29% probability despite an astronomical 6541% implied yield on the Yes side, suggesting severe undervaluation relative to the narrow 0.4-0.6% GDP growth band. The price has nearly doubled in 7 days (15¢ to 29¢) on just $172.8k daily volume with low open interest of $395.7k, indicating thin liquidity and potential for sharp moves as the April 30 resolution date approaches in just 14 days. The extremely high realized volatility (845%) and elevated info arrival rate (1.6/hour) signal this market is pricing in significant uncertainty around the German GDP data release, though the massive yield differential warrants caution about whether the Yes side truly reflects fundamental probability or reflects liquidity constraints on the No side.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the German GDP growth rate (% change) on the same quarter a year earlier, price adjusted, as reported in the first release of the Destatis Gross Domestic Product press release for Q1 of 2026, expected to be released on April 30, 2026. The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Economy/National-Accounts-Domestic-Product/_node.html If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. If no data for the specified quarter is released by the date the next quarter's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on data from the last available quarter. The resolution source for this market reports GDP growth rates to only one decimal point (e.g. 0.3%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. Note: data from the initial release of the referenced GDP report is what will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following quarter, or as a part of the next estimate's publication; however, any revisions to GDP report data made after the initial release of the specified report will not be considered for this market's resolution.
