Trader consensus assigns a 100% implied probability that Strait of Hormuz traffic did not return to normal by September 15, driven by sustained geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf that kept tanker transits and oil shipments below baseline levels. Elevated marine insurance premiums, vessel rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope, and reduced throughput metrics reflected ongoing regional instability, directly supporting higher energy price volatility and forward curves in crude benchmarks. Market pricing incorporates real-time shipping data and volume reports, confirming the absence of normalization ahead of the deadline. While this near-certain outcome rests on verifiable transit statistics, tail risks such as a sudden diplomatic resolution or abrupt cessation of disruptions could theoretically have shifted dynamics, though no such catalysts emerged in time to alter the resolution.

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 September 15, 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.
