Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU/CSU-SPD grand coalition, formed after the 2025 Bundestag election, faces strains from the SPD's dismal March 2026 state election losses—including Rhineland-Palatinate after 35 years in power—and record-low national polls amid economic stagnation, yet trader consensus prices an 86.5% chance it endures before 2027. Recent fuel price tensions, where CDU Economics Minister Katherina Reiche publicly clashed with SPD leader Lars Klingbeil over an excess profits tax amid diesel at €2.39/liter, prompted Merz to urge cooperation and CDU moderates to call for her replacement, but no resignations or no-confidence threats emerged. Historical resilience of grand coalitions, mutual incentives against AfD's rise via the firewall, and shared reform priorities on taxes and social security sustain stability through upcoming 2026 state votes.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the governing coalition consisting of CDU/CSU and SPD breaks by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM CET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.”
For the purposes of this market, the coalition is considered broken if either CDU/CSU or SPD ceases to be a coalition partner in the federal government.
A coalition break may be evidenced by:
– a formal withdrawal from the coalition,
– the resignation or dismissal of all ministers from one party,
– or the appointment of a new federal government.
If all ministers affiliated with one of the coalition parties resign or are dismissed, this may signal that party’s withdrawal from the coalition, even if one or more individuals remain in office as independents or continue without representing the party.
If the coalition breaks and the sitting Chancellor remains in office with a new coalition or as a minority government, this market will still resolve to “Yes.”
The break date is the date on which it becomes officially confirmed that the coalition has broken; mere reports of negotiations, speculation, or indications of an impending break will not suffice.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the German government; however, a consensus of credible reporting from major reputable news outlets may also be used.Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU/CSU-SPD grand coalition, formed after the 2025 Bundestag election, faces strains from the SPD's dismal March 2026 state election losses—including Rhineland-Palatinate after 35 years in power—and record-low national polls amid economic stagnation, yet trader consensus prices an 86.5% chance it endures before 2027.
