Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors severely curtailed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz at end-April, with 0-10 daily transits leading at 45.5%, reflecting fears of Iranian retaliation amid escalated Israel-Iran tensions. Key driver: Iran's parliament voted April 23 to close the strait following Israel's April 19 airstrikes near Isfahan, though Supreme Leader approval is pending and no closure has materialized. Daily tanker transits have held near historical norms of 20-25 amid elevated insurance risks and threats, but traders price in disruption scenarios from potential military escalation or seizures like the April 13 MSC Aries incident. Normalcy (60+) trails at 13.5% as geopolitical risks dominate sentiment ahead of any de-escalation signals.
