Amid heightened U.S.-Iran tensions following the Strait of Hormuz closure in early March, Polymarket traders price a 28% implied probability of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—handling 12% of global trade—being effectively closed by April 30, defined as IMF PortWatch reporting a 7-day average of ≤10 ship transits. Sustained Houthi threats, including recent vows to block the chokepoint if Gulf states escalate, have driven sentiment, yet multinational naval patrols maintain flows at ~35 ships daily as of April 5. The prior Hormuz disruption already propelled Brent crude past $100/bbl, inflated freight rates 50-100% via Africa reroutes, and spiked war risk insurance premiums up to 25x; full Bab el-Mandeb shutdown risks $150 oil. Key catalysts include U.S. Hormuz blockade enforcement and Houthi responses ahead of monthly IMF data.

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
