The expiration of the New START Treaty on February 5, 2026, without extension or replacement removed the last formal caps and verification regime on U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear forces. Russia had offered to observe the treaty’s central limits for an additional year, but the United States declined, with the Trump administration instead signaling interest in negotiating a “modernized” successor agreement that could incorporate China and address non-strategic warheads. Discussions occurred on the sidelines of Ukraine-related talks in early February, yet no framework or political commitment has materialized. Key variables include the pace of any renewed bilateral or trilateral contacts, China’s consistent refusal to join while its arsenal remains smaller, and broader strategic stability talks that could either facilitate or delay a new accord. Trader assessments hinge on whether diplomatic channels produce verifiable limits before any market resolution date.

Only agreements that are publicly announced and acknowledged by both the U.S. and Russia will qualify. The agreement must pertain to nuclear arms control or limitation—such as a treaty, framework, or memorandum—addressing matters including (but not limited to) nuclear warheads, delivery systems, verification mechanisms, or strategic stability.
An extension, amendment, or replacement of the New START treaty will qualify, provided it is publicly announced as a concluded agreement by both parties within the time frame. Exploratory discussions or stated intent to extend without a finalized agreement will not qualify.
Agreements that include both the United States and Russia as named parties—whether bilateral or as part of a broader multilateral framework—will qualify, provided the agreement directly addresses nuclear arms control.
The agreement does not need to be ratified or implemented for this market to resolve "Yes"; a formal announcement of a concluded agreement is sufficient.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government (e.g., the White House, State Department) and/or the Russian Federation (e.g., the Kremlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.
