Persistent Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping have slashed Bab el-Mandeb Strait transits by over 60% since November 2023, yet no effective closure—defined as near-zero commercial traffic—has materialized due to US-UK airstrikes degrading rebel capabilities. Recent strikes on October 16 targeted Houthi radars, while rebels claimed hits on four vessels last week, sustaining elevated risks. This has quadrupled Asia-Europe container freight rates to $4,869 per 40-foot equivalent unit (Drewry index, Oct 17), boosted Suez Canal revenues down 50% YTD to $4.8B, and inflated war risk insurance premiums 20-fold. Brent crude lingers near $74/bbl amid rerouting via Cape route adding 40% fuel costs and 10-day delays; trader consensus reflects deterrence holding, with eyes on US election outcomes and Iran proxy escalations.

This market will resolve as soon as IMF PortWatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait equal to or below 10, or once data has been published for the listed date and no such value has been published.
If no data has been published for the listed date within 14 calendar days (ET) after that date, this market will resolve based on the data published up to that point.
Revisions to previously published data points made before data has been published for the listed date will be considered; however, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions made after data has been published for the listed date will not be considered.
The resolution source for this market will be IMF PortWatch, specifically the “Arrivals of Ships” data published for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/6b1814d64903461b98144a6cc25eb79c
