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 July 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 which 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.
Key risk: Sudden geopolitical crises (e.g., Taiwan Strait conflict)

The market currently prices a 50% probability of a US-China tariff agreement by July 31, 2026, reflecting balanced expectations given recent tensions and historical precedents of last-minute deals. Resolution hinges on formal, publicly announced mutual agreements, not informal or unilateral actions.
Geopolitical de-escalation or economic necessity could drive both sides to compromise on tariffs by July 2026, particularly if global growth slows or US-China trade imbalances become untenable. A phased agreement with incremental tariff reductions may be more achievable than a comprehensive deal, aligning with recent trends in trade negotiations.
Escalating US-China strategic competition, including semiconductor restrictions, military posturing, or ideological differences, could prevent any meaningful tariff agreement by the deadline. Domestic political pressures in both countries may also prioritize economic protectionism over compromise.
