The rules contain an early resolution clause where a mere announcement of resignation or removal triggers an immediate positive outcome, even if the actual departure date is scheduled far in the future or delayed. Additionally, the condition requires that he ceases to hold the office, meaning that if he never assumes the chancellorship at all before the deadline, the market defaults to a negative outcome. While official German government releases are primary, resolution can also rely on general consensus across reporting outlets.
