4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices Hormuz traffic returning to normal by end of June at just 18%, despite deal optimism.
Trump's weekend signing signal and Hormuz reopening rhetoric are not consistent with the market's skeptical near-term read.
The December 31 Polymarket contract on the same question sits at 78%, showing markets price eventual normalization but not on Trump's timeline.
A separate ladder contract implies roughly 20-25 transit calls through Hormuz, well below historical norms, reinforcing the timeline doubt.
