Traders on Polymarket price an 78.5% implied probability of "No" successful Houthi targeting of shipping by March 31, driven primarily by intensified U.S.-led coalition airstrikes and naval intercepts that have neutralized over 90% of Houthi drones and missiles since mid-February. Recent developments, including U.S. strikes on 18 radar and missile sites on March 15-16, have led to a sharp drop in confirmed commercial vessel hits—none reported in the past week amid Operation Prosperity Guardian's expanded patrols. This suppression eases near-term supply chain risks, stabilizing Baltic Dry Index futures and Red Sea insurance premiums at multi-week lows. Consensus anticipates continued deterrence through quarter-end, though Iranian resupply or Gaza escalation could shift odds rapidly.
