This market will resolve to “Yes” if IMF Portwatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls (“Arrivals of Ships”) for the Strait of Hormuz equal to or above 60 for any date between market creation and November 30, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Daily transit calls include container, dry bulk, roll-on/roll-off, general cargo, and tanker ships. Ships not reported by IMF Portwatch will not be considered. This market will resolve as soon as IMF Portwatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls equal to or above the specified level, or once data has been published for the final date in the specified period and no such value has been published. If no data has been published for the final date of the specified period within 14 calendar days (ET) after the end of that period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point. Revisions to previously published data points made within this market’s timeframe will be considered. However, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions to previously published data points after data is published for November 30, 2026, however, will not be considered. In case of obvious data integrity issues (i.e., erroneous data), the market may remain open until the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the date on which such data is first released to allow for corrections. Data integrity issues refer only to clerical or other similar errors in the underlying data, and do not include cases where IMF Portwatch differs from alternative sources. The resolution source for this market will be IMF Portwatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.Ongoing escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict, including tit-for-tat attacks on tankers near the Strait on September 9 that drove Brent crude above $100 per barrel, underpins the 89.5% market-implied probability that traffic will not normalize by November 30. Daily transits remain at roughly 3–12 vessels versus the pre-February 2026 average of 125, reflecting Iranian-imposed routing restrictions, U.S. blockades, and elevated war-risk premiums that have kept commercial flows at 4–10% of prior levels. Recent IRGC warnings of expanded exclusion zones and repeated collapses of partial recovery attempts since June have reinforced trader consensus that sustained de-escalation is unlikely before year-end, with oil-market volatility and shipping-insurance costs serving as key swing factors.
