Analysis
This probability represents the chance that China conducts a military invasion of Taiwan within the next 20 months. The 17% figure suggests markets view an invasion as unlikely but not negligible. Military escalation risks, geopolitical tensions, and cross-strait stability are the primary drivers of this probability. The current level reflects a period of relative calm compared to 2024-2025, though structural factors including Taiwan's strategic importance and military modernization efforts continue to shape assessments. Key catalysts that could shift this probability include changes in U.S.-China relations, Taiwan's defense capabilities, or any military incidents in the Taiwan Strait. No single scheduled event determines resolution, but significant policy shifts or military posturing by either side would likely move markets substantially.

Trump China Visit Locked In at 95% Probability: Markets Expect Mid-May Summit
Donald Trump visiting China by May 15 is priced at 91¢ (+1¢) and by May 31 at 95¢ (+2¢) — extremely high conviction. This would be the most consequential US-China diplomatic engagement since Xi's reelection. Markets are pricing this as a near-certainty.
How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
