Trader consensus implies about 48% odds of another magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquake worldwide before December 31, 2024, following the M7.6 Noto Peninsula event in Japan on January 1 and subsequent M7.4 in the Philippines on July 19, per USGS data. This pricing reflects the historical average of 15-20 such quakes annually—roughly 1-1.5 per month—with roughly four months remaining, though Poisson-distributed probabilities suggest higher baseline odds around 70-80% for at least one more. No short-term forecasting is possible, as USGS emphasizes earthquakes occur without reliable precursors; sentiment tracks real-time global seismicity, with next USGS significant quake summary due weekly potentially shifting views if activity spikes in high-risk zones like the Pacific Ring of Fire.

The resolution source for this market is the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/browse/significant.php#sigdef).
If an earthquake of substantial size has occurred within this market's timeframe but not yet appeared on the resolution source, this market may remain open until the end of the month following resolution time or until the earthquake in question otherwise appears on the resolution source. If such an earthquake has not appeared on the resolution source by that date, another credible resolution source will be used.
After a qualifying earthquake is registered, this market will remain open for 24 hours to account for any revisions to its recorded magnitude. After 24 hours, this market will resolve according to the latest provided data.
