4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices normal Hormuz traffic by end of June at just 2%, near-zero odds of rapid normalization.
Mutual US-Iran strikes this week make imminent resumption of normal shipping implausible; the market is fully aligned with the news.
The Polymarket contract on a US invasion of Iran before 2027 at 15% suggests markets see continued skirmishes, not full war, as the base case.
Resolves via portwatch.imf.org shipping data; resolution requires measurable return to baseline transit volumes by June 30.
