Polymarket traders heavily favor subdued UK GDP growth in Q1 2026, pricing a 51% implied probability for 0.0-0.3% quarter-on-quarter expansion and 86.8% for below 0.6%, mirroring Bank of England forecasts of 1.1% annualized growth in 2025 easing toward 1.4% in 2026 amid sticky services inflation limiting rate cuts to 4.75%. Recent Q3 2024 GDP rose just 0.4% QoQ per ONS data, while Chancellor Reeves' Autumn Budget added £40 billion in employer taxes, intensifying fiscal drag on business investment and payrolls. Consensus projections from IMF and OECD point to quarterly prints under 0.5%, with negative growth odds at 6.5% reflecting labor market cooling; watch December BoE policy and Q4 GDP for shifts in trader sentiment.
