This market will resolve to "Yes" if an official agreement over tariffs, defined as a publicly announced mutual agreement, is reached between the United States and China between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. If such an agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to "Yes", regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect. Informal and unilateral announcements that do not constitute a finalized agreement will not count. The publicly announced lowering of tariffs by both China and the U.S. will qualify as a mutual agreement over trade and/or tariffs if confirmed as part of a mutual agreement by an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting, even if a formal agreement isn’t mutually announced. Agreements that include the United States and China as parties, even if they also involve other countries, will qualify for resolution. The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by the United States and the People's Republic of China, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming an agreement has been reached will also qualify.**Recent diplomatic engagements and structured trade arrangements between the US and China have produced multiple tariff adjustments, suspensions, and purchase commitments that extend into late 2026.** Meetings between Presidents Trump and Xi in late 2025 and May 2026 yielded frameworks suspending heightened reciprocal tariffs until November 10, 2026, with China agreeing to suspend retaliatory measures on US agricultural goods through December 31, 2026. Additional elements include annual Chinese commitments to purchase at least $17 billion in US agricultural products (prorated for 2026) plus restored market access for certain livestock items and reciprocal tariff reductions on select goods. The creation of US-China Boards of Trade and Investment provides ongoing mechanisms to manage bilateral flows and identify further tariff-eligible items. These steps follow earlier 2025 truces that lowered peak rates from over 100% levels and reflect continued high-level talks focused on agricultural exports, fentanyl-related duties, and non-sensitive trade. With existing suspensions and commitments already aligned to year-end deadlines and active negotiation channels in place, trader consensus assigns an 88.6% implied probability to a tariff agreement materializing by December 31.
