How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- The resolution source is described as 'a consensus of credible reporting' rather than an official government source, which introduces subjectivity in determining when/if the agreement is officially law.
- The term 'free trade agreement' is not precisely defined — it is unclear whether a partial trade deal, sector-specific agreement, or trade framework short of a comprehensive FTA would qualify.
- No explicit definition of what constitutes the agreement 'becoming law' is provided beyond the two mechanisms listed, leaving edge cases (e.g., executive orders, tariff proclamations) potentially ambiguous.
- The market title uses quotes around 'India' without explaining why, which could suggest ambiguity about whether it refers strictly to the Republic of India or some broader entity.
