Analysis

This market is pricing the likelihood that China's industrial production grew more than 7.0% year-over-year in April 2026. The 95% probability on the lower 2.5% threshold versus just 5% on the 7.0% threshold suggests traders expect industrial output to expand, but with material uncertainty about the pace. Recent Chinese economic data, manufacturing trends, and policy stimulus measures are likely anchoring expectations. The National Bureau of Statistics typically releases official April industrial production figures in mid-May, which will definitively resolve this market. Traders appear confident production will outpace the prior year by a meaningful margin, but the sharp probability cliff between 2.5% and 7.0% indicates skepticism about achieving robust double-digit or near-double-digit growth rates given structural headwinds in China's manufacturing sector.

  • Official NBS April 2026 industrial production data release, expected mid-May, directly determines the outcome
  • Current contract pricing (5¢ at 7.0% vs 95¢ at 2.5%) implies traders expect growth in the 3-6% range rather than above 7%
  • Recent Chinese economic stimulus measures and their effectiveness in driving factory output by April would materially influence expectations
  • Global semiconductor and export demand trends affecting Chinese manufacturing capacity utilization in early 2026
  • Seasonal patterns and base-effect comparisons from April 2025 industrial production levels

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.
