Trader sentiment on Strait of Hormuz transits hinges on escalating Middle East tensions, particularly Iran's threats to close the vital chokepoint through which 21% of global oil supply flows daily, potentially spiking Brent crude prices above $100 per barrel and disrupting tanker freight rates. Recent Israeli strikes on Iranian targets and Tehran's retaliatory missile barrages have heightened risks, with U.S. Navy carrier strike groups like the USS Abraham Lincoln positioned nearby but avoiding full transits amid warnings. No confirmed U.S. warship passages occurred in the past week, per naval trackers, sustaining caution; upcoming Iran-U.S. diplomatic talks and potential escalations by April 30 could sway probabilities, as markets price in a 20-30% geopolitical risk premium reflected in elevated oil volatility (VIX for energy at 35).

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.
