4-bullet brief | narrative
  • Kalshi ladder puts daily Hormuz transit calls in the 25-30 range by August 31: 61% above 25, 38% above 30.
  • Iran's new demands for U.S. war-end and financial compensation keep a full reopening uncertain, consistent with the ladder's wide distribution.
  • Polymarket separately puts 57% odds on Hormuz traffic returning to normal by December 31, implying a resolution timeline beyond August.
  • Resolves via official transit call data through the Strait of Hormuz by August 31, 2026.
