Rules

This market will resolve to “Yes”, if either of the following conditions are met:

1. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) publicly announces that a recession has occurred in the United States, at any point in 2025, with the announcement made by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET.

2. The seasonally adjusted annualized percent change in quarterly U.S. real GDP from the previous quarter is less than 0.0 for two consecutive quarters between Q4 2024 and Q4 2025 (inclusive), as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Note that advance estimates will be considered. For example, if upon release, the advance estimate for Q2 2025 was negative, and the Q1 2025's most recent, up-to-date estimate was also negative, this market would resolve to "Yes". If on December 31, 2025 the latest estimate for quarterly GDP in Q3 2025 was negative, this market will stay open until the Advance estimate of Q4 2025 is published, at which point it will resolve to "Yes" if Q4 2025 was negative or if the NBER declares a recession by then.

The resolution source will be the official announcements from the NBER and the BEA’s estimate of seasonally adjusted annualized percent change in quarterly US real GDP from previous quarters as released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product

For the first time in its history, Moodys has downgraded the credit rating of the United States from AAA to AA1.

@onafets

Long overdue, but the rating downgrade is supportive of lower interest rates, which will be supportive of q3 & q4 GDP numbers (q2 gdp is already a lock for positive).

Moody's strips the U.S. government of top credit rating, saying presidents and lawmakers have failed to reverse rising debts.

Bloomberg’s Augusta Saraiva: “US inflation rose by less than forecast in April amid tame prices for clothing and new cars, suggesting little urgency so far by companies to pass along the cost of higher tariffs to consumers.”

Looks like hes down more than 15k on this bet. Can't win em all. Once we get the positive q2 print i would be surprused if this market stayed above 25%.

@Crazykekbr

The top yes holder is literally a well known scammer whose only claim to fame is having a good model for predicting temperature markets lol

I think everyone should buy YES. Trump is doing a very bad job and the U.S will be in a Great Depression very soon!!!!

It's not about predicting the future; it's about seeing the patterns. Q1 GDP already dipped negative. Tariffs are a lead weight on growth. Consumer confidence? Rock bottom. Manufacturing is shrinking. The dominos are already falling. Buying YES isn't a gamble; it's acknowledging the inevitable

PowerOfAntichrist is the type of loser that you can’t even believe could exist. Lives a meaningless life and is desperate for any attention, but nobody will give it to him as he has no positive human traits. He screams out "please someone listen to me" nobody does. He now finds himself on one of the few places on the internet where no matter how worthless you are, the website will not ban you. His comments are ignored over and over. "maybe this is the one that will make someone pay attention to me" he thinks but to no avail. BUT, we have a solution. Just like in every other avenue in his worthless life, we can press the holders square, and this piece of human dog shit disappears forever. He is the perfect example of failed parenting. If you choose to make babies, it is your responsibility to make sure that they are not so ugly and repulsive that this behavior is their only outlet. So in conclusion… ugly stupid people, you have to stop having sex.

Trumpie betrayed his MAGAs...

Why in the world has this price dropped with no signs of tariff relief? Just because stock prices rebounded?

@Pythagoras

and why do you think the stock prices rebounded....
