Ongoing attacks on commercial vessels and Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline shutdown have kept Strait of Hormuz transits at roughly 3–7 ships per day, or about 4 percent of the pre-February 2026 baseline of ~74 daily arrivals, per IMF PortWatch satellite data. Brent crude has climbed above $104 per barrel amid the disruption, while war-risk insurance premiums remain elevated at roughly 15 times peacetime levels, raising delivered costs for any oil that moves. Diplomatic talks scheduled for September 14 among Iran and Gulf states, excluding the United States, introduce near-term uncertainty over potential route agreements or continued Iranian enforcement actions. With only 17 days until the September 30 resolution, tanker scheduling, U.S. escort availability, and any escalation in regional strikes represent the key swing factors priced into current market-implied odds.

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.
Data for a specific date must be finalized before it is considered for this market (namely, once the next date's data point is available, the previous one is finalized).
This market will resolve as soon as a qualifying figure has been finalized or once all relevant data has been finalized. If the data for the final date of the specified timeframe has not been finalized by the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the day on which such data is first released, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point. Additionally, if not all relevant data has been released and finalized within 14 calendar days of the end of the specified period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point.
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.
Only revisions to previously published data points made before the applicable resolution time will 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.
