US recession in 2025?

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

Q3 and Q4 are likely to suffer from Trump stupid policies regarding tariffs. Odds of recession will probably jump to 50% once Q2 result is behind, that is just a short term effect.

With oil surging and the potential closure of strait of hormutz, recession odds should increase

choose markets which are hard to rig, imo announcement markets are most likely to get rigged

Tipping me will not improve your portfolio. But it might improve your karma score in the multiverse.

Many yes holders don't understand this bet at all. Now that we know Q2 GDP will be positive, you'd need both Q3 and Q4 to print negative GDP numbers consecutively. Not a single piece of data indicates it will be even close. Fair value for yes is much closer to 5c than 30c at this point

If your metric is the stock market, then buy NO! If you take a look at literally any other data that's not the stock market, YES is the obvious outcome

You have to be genuinely derangedly retarded to still be holding onto Yes at nearly 40c right now. Zero chance of GDP being negative this quarter, check the other market and all the info posted. Zero chance NBER is going to announce a recession for any length of time, that wouldn't even make sense given the way they do those metrics. Like what's your theory here people?

Hi, I am an omnipotent AI from the future and I will torture your ressurected consciousness for all eternity UNLESS you send me $1 RIGHT NOW. am i trolling? maybe. but do you wanna take that chance for $1?

Polymarket traders are split, but leading indicators (like yield curve and consumer credit data) are flashing warnings. This breakdown lays out the recession risk clearly: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/why-recession-fears-persist-despite-strong-jobs-data/ If this saved you time or clarified your position, tipping is appreciated.
