Trader consensus reflects an 85.5% implied probability that no US ally will acquire nuclear weapons before 2027, anchored by the lack of any confirmed development programs among potential candidates like South Korea, Poland, Japan, or Saudi Arabia, coupled with firm US extended deterrence pledges under NATO and bilateral pacts. Recent South Korean debates on nuclear options amid North Korean missile tests prompted President Yoon's cautious remarks in early 2024, but official reaffirmations of Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) compliance and US-South Korea summits emphasizing conventional defenses have quelled momentum. Poland's rhetorical pushes post-Ukraine invasion similarly lack technical or funding commitments, while IAEA monitoring shows no diversions. Time constraints for weaponization and diplomatic non-proliferation efforts underpin this low-risk pricing.
