North Korea's pattern of frequent missile tests in 2024, including a multiple-launch cruise missile drill on March 18 from its western waters, drives the 59.5% implied probability for another test or launch by March 31. Pyongyang has conducted over a dozen such events this year, often timed to counter U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises like ongoing Freedom Shield drills. Kim Jong Un's recent directives to accelerate missile production and tactical nuclear readiness, amid heightened rhetoric against Seoul and Washington, bolster trader consensus on likely escalation. No confirmed plans exist, but historical base rates and monitoring by Japan and allies sustain elevated odds, subject to sudden shifts.
