Trader consensus favoring no new pandemic before 2028 reflects the absence of any pathogen currently demonstrating sustained human-to-human transmission with pandemic potential, despite active outbreaks. The large Bundibugyo Ebola event in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ongoing since May 2026 with thousands of cases, remains regionally contained through intensified surveillance, contact tracing, and community measures, with limited cross-border spread quickly halted. Hantavirus and Nipah clusters have likewise stayed localized. Avian influenza strains show animal spillover but lack efficient respiratory spread among people, consistent with extensive monitoring data. Post-COVID surveillance enhancements and historical patterns of infrequent global events support the 76.5% implied probability, though model uncertainty around zoonotic emergence persists.
