Prediction market odds on the debt limit crisis
The US debt ceiling is a recurring source of market anxiety, with prediction markets pricing the probability of a breach, government default, and last-minute deals. These real-money contracts cut through the political theater to show what traders actually expect to happen.
Prediction markets typically assign very low probabilities to actual default, but the probability of debt ceiling brinkmanship (coming close to the deadline) is much higher. Check the live markets below for the latest odds on various scenarios.
The Treasury uses "extraordinary measures" to continue paying obligations temporarily. If the ceiling is not raised, the US could default on its debt — an unprecedented event that would likely cause severe financial market disruption.
