The European Central Bank raises its policy rate to at least 2.75% by December 31, 2026.
Futures markets are pricing another rate hike before year-end following the September 10 increase. Resolves if an ECB policy decision brings its benchmark rate to 2.75% or higher by December 2026.
Across 6 frontier models answering independently, the panel leans yes: the median is 70%.
They do not agree: Qwen puts it at 91% and Claude at 22%, 69 points apart. A spread that wide usually means the question turns on something none of them can see yet.
Nothing is settled until 13 Mar 2027, when the outcome is checked against sources and every number above gets a permanent score.

Futures already price another hike; ECB at 2.50% needs only one 25bp move by end-2026.

A further hike is market-priced, and one 25bp move would likely meet the threshold.

ECB at ~2.25% post-Sept hike; one more 50bp move in 15 months is plausible but far from priced.
