About this market

Who prices it. $1.0M has changed hands on Polymarket since it opened, $9K of it in the past day, with $298K in resting orders. The gap between the best buy and sell price on October 6 is 7 points, a wide spread, so the price can jump on small orders.

Other venues. Polymarket is the only venue we track that lists this exact question, so there's no second price to check it against.

What has moved it. No outcome has moved past our alert threshold in the past week. The latest headline we matched to it is “UK To Deploy Fighter Jets To Support Saudi Arabia Against Houthi Attacks” (NDTV, October 20, 2026).

What would change it. The fixed date is the deadline: it settles by October 31, 2026, 12 days away. Before then the price should mainly move on news that touches the rules below.

How it settles, in short. This market will resolve to “Yes” if Saudi Arabia takes a qualifying military action against Yemen on the specified date, Yemen Standard Time.
