Escalating Houthi threats to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—tied to US-Iran confrontations and potential Gulf state involvement—have spiked geopolitical premiums, yet sustained IMF PortWatch transit data (33-ship 7-day average as of late March) underpins trader consensus pricing minimal near-term closure risk. This chokepoint channels 12% of global seaborne oil trade and 8% LNG flows; effective shutdown would force Cape of Good Hope rerouting, further elevating Asia-Europe freight rates (already 25-40% higher) and Brent crude toward $100+ per barrel amid Hormuz strains. Baltic Dry Index at 2,139 reflects resilient dry bulk volumes. Watch Houthi strikes, coalition naval responses, and weekly PortWatch updates ahead of late April resolution.

This market will resolve as soon as IMF PortWatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait equal to or below 10, or once data has been published for the listed date and no such value has been published.
If no data has been published for the listed date within 14 calendar days (ET) after that date, this market will resolve based on the data published up to that point.
Revisions to previously published data points made before data has been published for the listed date will be considered; however, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions made after data has been published for the listed date will not be considered.
