**Trader sentiment for a day of zero transits through the Strait of Hormuz reflects the waterway’s effective closure to most commercial traffic since late February 2026, with only limited, often Iran-permitted or U.S.-facilitated movements continuing.** Ongoing U.S.-Iran kinetic exchanges, high war-risk premiums, and IRGC route controls have kept daily volumes at roughly 20% of pre-conflict levels as of mid-September 2026, according to UKMTO tracking. A brief recovery followed the June 17 MOU, but renewed strikes in early July collapsed that progress and reimposed sanctions. Current flows rely on designated corridors under Iranian oversight, with many major carriers avoiding the strait entirely. Any further escalation, expanded sanctions enforcement, or tightened IRGC permitting could reduce transits toward zero on individual days, while de-escalation or new diplomatic arrangements could sustain the low but positive flow.

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 daily number of transit calls equal to 0, or once complete data has been published for the specified period without such a publication. If complete data for the specified period has not been published within 28 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. 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 except in the case of data integrity issues.
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.
