Will the Workers' Party nominate Lula for President of Brazil by August 15?
What the market is pricing
The market is heavily favoured, near-certain at 97%, reflecting strong expectations that the Workers' Party will nominate Lula by the August 15 deadline. The odds rose slightly (+1 pts) over the past day, suggesting marginal increases in confidence, though the 7-day move shows no net change. At this level, traders are pricing in only a small chance of the party either nominating a different candidate or failing to meet the filing deadline.

What could move it
- Official announcements from the Workers' Party about its 2026 nomination decision would directly confirm or contradict the market's expectation.
- Any unexpected political developments or party leadership changes between now and mid-August could shift the odds, though time remaining before the deadline constrains how far conviction can move.
