Resolution Criteria:
This market will resolve to YES if the US weighted average tariff reaches at least 6% in any quarter of 2025.
As of Q2 2024, the weighted average tariff is 2.4%, with the highest level during Trump’s previous presidency reaching 3.5%.
The market will resolve based on calculations by Callum Williams, senior economics writer at The Economist.
• If by the fourth quarter of 2025, the tariff has not crossed 6%, the market will resolve to NO.
• If any initial estimate or revision for Q1-Q3 2025 shows the tariff exceeding 6% while the market is open, the market will resolve to YES immediately.
• The Q4 number will be based on initial data, and the market will close once that data is available.
If a different president takes office during 2025, the market will continue to resolve based on the US weighted tariff average under the same rules.
If Callum Williams is unavailable, a suitable replacement will be found.
