Persistent Houthi rebel attacks on commercial shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait— a vital chokepoint handling 12% of global trade and 30% of container volume—have driven container freight rates up 250% year-over-year per the Drewry World Container Index, forcing 90% of vessels to reroute around Africa and inflating voyage costs by $1 million per trip amid surging insurance premiums. Recent U.S.-led airstrikes have temporarily curbed attack frequency, stabilizing oil tanker chartering rates near $50,000/day for VLCCs, but trader consensus on Polymarket reflects skepticism of full closure without broader escalation, pricing in Gaza ceasefire talks and potential Iranian involvement as key swing factors. Upcoming U.S. Navy deployments and UN Security Council sessions could shift risk premiums and resolution dynamics.

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.
The resolution source for this market will be IMF PortWatch, specifically the “Arrivals of Ships” data published for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/6b1814d64903461b98144a6cc25eb79c
