Bracket families

5 clusters across 7 contracts.

These contracts were grouped by title similarity. The headline aggregate combines all clusters; verify the cluster you actually need before quoting a number.

Heads-up — heterogeneous clusters

The top two clusters share only 11% of their title tokens — “Will Netanyahu” vs “Will Modi and Sharif meet before Jan 1, 2027”. The headline aggregate weights both, so the number on this page is meaningful only if the clusters resolve to the same question.

Analysis

This probability reflects the likelihood that Japanese Prime Minister Yoiko Takaichi and Chinese President Xi Jinping will hold an in-person bilateral meeting before the end of 2026. The current 16% assessment suggests markets view such a meeting as unlikely within this timeframe, though not impossible. Japan-China relations have faced ongoing tensions over regional disputes, Taiwan, and strategic competition, which typically constrains high-level diplomatic engagement. Any significant meeting would likely require either a major diplomatic initiative or a crisis that necessitates direct leadership talks. Key drivers include statements from Japanese and Chinese governments regarding diplomatic priorities, upcoming international summits where both leaders might appear, and any shifts in bilateral tensions. The timeframe is relatively short—less than four months remain—which limits opportunities for scheduling and preparation of such a consequential meeting.

  • No publicly announced bilateral meeting between Takaichi and Xi has been scheduled as of early September 2026
  • Recent statements from Tokyo and Beijing regarding diplomatic engagement and willingness to hold high-level talks
  • Attendance at multilateral forums (APEC, regional summits) where bilateral meetings could occur on the margins
  • Current state of Japan-China bilateral tensions over territorial disputes, trade, and regional positioning
  • Historical frequency of Japan-China PM-to-President meetings and typical lead time for such diplomatic events

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.
