This market will resolve to “Yes” if IMF Portwatch publishes a daily number of transit calls (“Arrivals of Ships”) for the Strait of Hormuz equal to or above the listed value for any date between market creation and April 30, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The number of daily transit calls/arrivals includes 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 daily number 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 April 30, 2026, however, will not 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.Amid the escalating 2026 US-Iran conflict, commercial ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz—a vital chokepoint for 20% of global seaborne oil trade—have collapsed to 3-20 vessels per day as of April 29, per Windward Daily Intelligence and IMF Portwatch tracking, versus pre-crisis norms exceeding 100. US naval blockades on Iranian ports, coupled with Iranian minefields, vessel seizures, and restricted corridors hugging Iran's coast for sanctioned ships, underpin trader consensus pricing minimal recovery odds. Energy markets reflect this supply risk with elevated Brent crude volatility and US gasoline averages near $4.05/gallon. Resolution hinges on April 30 IMF data; absent a surge, prolonged disruptions signal sustained oil risk premiums ahead of potential de-escalation talks.
