US announces withdrawal from MOU negotiations by...?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: July 31 at about a 7% chance.
The field is extremely open: the top candidate (July 31) holds only 7%, meaning 93% of probability is spread across other dates or no withdrawal. The single biggest recent shift is the emergence of July 31 from 0% to 7% after Iran's withdrawal from a US deal over a new blockade (NDTV, Jul 15) and continued US-Iran tensions.
What's driving it
- • Iran's withdrawal from a US deal on July 15 (NDTV) increased speculation that the US might reciprocate by announcing its own withdrawal from MOU negotiations, with July 31 as the nearest plausible date.
- • The Trump administration's strikes on Iranian forces on July 13 (CBS News) and Iran's threat to keep Hormuz closed (Marine Insight, Jul 15) have heightened tensions, making a US withdrawal announcement more likely in the near term.
Why the front-runners lead
- • July 31 is the only date with any significant probability because it is the first upcoming date after the recent escalation, offering a natural deadline for a policy response.
- • The low 7% odds reflect that the market sees a small but non-zero chance that the US will announce withdrawal by the end of July, possibly as a retaliatory or strategic move.
Why it's still open
- • The field is wide open because 93% of the probability lies elsewhere, meaning the market believes a withdrawal announcement is unlikely by July 31 or may never happen.
- • A later date or no withdrawal could overtake if diplomatic efforts de-escalate or if the US chooses not to formally withdraw from MOU negotiations despite tensions.
What to watch
- • July 31, 2026: If no announcement occurs by this date, the July 31 contract will resolve to No, likely shifting probability to later dates or to a 'no withdrawal' outcome.
- • Any new US-Iran diplomatic talks or further military actions (e.g., additional strikes or blockade updates) could either increase or decrease the likelihood of a US withdrawal announcement.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination field is exceptionally fragmented, with no candidate above 5% and the top three sum to just 1% — a sign that the race is truly wide open and still in its earliest jockeying phase, despite a recent poll placing Senator JD Vance near the top of a generic primary ballot (USA Today, Jul 23).

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
