Polymarket traders see a razor-thin race for Q1 2026 US GDP growth, with 2.5–3.0% (22.7% implied probability) edging 2.0–2.5% (20.5%) and ≥3.5% (20.0%), driven by Q3 2024's robust 2.8% expansion from strong consumer spending and investment amid the Fed's 50bps September rate cut. Yet, Federal Reserve and OECD projections flag 2026 annual growth cooling to 2.0–2.1% as prior tightening bites and demand normalizes. Key differentiators include Q4 GDP data due January 2025, March FOMC dots, and post-election fiscal policies—tax cuts or tariffs—that could accelerate or crimp momentum, keeping lower bins like <1.0% (6.8%) as tail risks.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product
Note: data in the first available GDP report is labelled by the BEA as an "Advance Estimate". The data found in the advance estimate will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following quarter or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to GDP report data made after the release of the advance estimate will not be considered for this market's resolution.
If the advance estimate is not released, this market will resolve based on the first officially published figure for real GDP for the specified quarter (e.g., the ‘second’ or ‘third’ estimate, etc.), as reported by the BEA. If no official estimate is released by the date the next quarter's advanced estimate is scheduled to be published, this market will resolve based on the most recent previous figure released by the BEA.
