China conducted a rare submarine-launched ballistic missile test into the Pacific on July 6, 2026, as part of routine annual training with a dummy warhead, drawing regional criticism but no further immediate follow-on launches. Since that event, which marked the first such open-water SLBM demonstration in decades, Beijing has issued no public signals of additional tests by year-end, while 41 nations have pressed for 24-hour advance notifications on strategic launches at the Conference on Disarmament. Traders price the "No" outcome at 82.5% amid stable deterrence signaling, absence of acute Taiwan Strait or U.S. tensions requiring escalation, and China's pattern of spaced-out demonstrations rather than rapid successive firings. No scheduled exercises or diplomatic triggers point to near-term activity before December 31.
