Ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict and associated Iranian military measures have kept Strait of Hormuz commercial traffic severely restricted since late February 2026, with daily transits remaining in the low teens or single digits through early August—well below pre-crisis norms of roughly 60 vessels. Iranian announcements of selective or full closure, combined with threats against vessels linked to the U.S., Israel, and allies, plus reported attacks, have sustained the disruption through July 31 and beyond. This extended blockade explains the 100% trader consensus on the “No” outcome. De-escalation via diplomatic agreements, verified large-scale resumption of tanker movements, or formal Iranian reversal of restrictions could still alter resolution if confirmed before final settlement.

Daily 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 IMF Portwatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls equal to or above the specified level, or once data has been published for the final date in the specified period and no such value has been published. 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. However, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions to previously published data points after data is published for July 31, 2026, however, will not be considered.
In case of obvious data integrity issues (i.e., erroneous data), the market may remain open until the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the date on which such data is first released to allow for corrections. Data integrity issues refer only to clerical or other similar errors in the underlying data, and do not include cases where IMF Portwatch differs from alternative sources.
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.
