This market will resolve according to the total number of transit calls that IMF Portwatch reports for the Strait of Hormuz for all days from March 30, 2026, through April 5, 2026, inclusive. Transit calls include 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 data has been published for the final date in the specified period. 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. Revisions to previously published data points after data is published for the final date of the specified period, 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.Amid ongoing Iran-U.S./Israel hostilities since late February 2026, the Strait of Hormuz remains under a selective Iranian transit regime, permitting only vetted vessels from allies like China and Russia, slashing daily ship transits from a pre-conflict average of 100-138 to 5-12 recently per IMF PortWatch and live trackers. Trader consensus clusters around 30-34 ships for March 30-April 5, with 35-39 close behind at 25.5%, reflecting mid-week tallies of roughly 25-30 transits amid a slight uptick from diplomatic signals like the Iran-Oman monitoring protocol draft on April 2. The tight race hinges on volatility in remaining days—escalatory attacks could cap below 30, while eased permits or de-escalation diplomacy might push toward 40.
