Persistent regional conflict since late February 2026 has sharply curtailed commercial transits through the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime chokepoint for Persian Gulf energy exports. Pre-conflict daily volumes exceeded 130 vessels, but marine tracking data show averages of roughly 5-10 ships per day in recent weeks, with some days recording fewer than five official passages amid elevated attack risks, insurance premiums, and rerouting. Traders price the week of June 15 in the 25-49 or sub-25 range because current patterns—driven by Iranian regulatory assertions, lingering maritime incidents, and incomplete U.S.-Iran diplomatic progress—suggest sustained low throughput. Minor upticks via the southern Oman route and limited naval facilitation have occurred, yet these remain far below historical norms and insufficient to push weekly totals into higher brackets without a rapid de-escalation.

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.
Data for a specific date must be finalized before it is considered for this market (namely, once the next date's data point is available, the previous one is finalized).
This market will resolve as soon as data has been finalized for the final date in the specified period. If the data for the final date of the specified period has not been finalized by the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the day on which such data is released, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point. Additionally, if not all relevant data has been released and finalized within 14 calendar days of the end of the specified period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point.
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.
Only revisions to previously published data points made before the applicable resolution time will be considered.
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.
