Hormuz traffic normal by end of June: Polymarket 42%

record: CMSIG2026060207 | category: momentum-repricing | target: CM-EVT-YPW93GCTK6 | published: 2026-06-02
4-bullet brief | narrative
  • Polymarket prices 42% on Strait of Hormuz traffic returning to normal by end of June, versus 86% by December 31.
  • Trump's one-week deal timeline would need to materialize rapidly to shift the near-term 42% toward the longer-dated 86%; the spread signals serious timeline doubt.
  • Fraying ceasefire and stalled Iran talks reported elsewhere make the June 30 normalization window tight; the 44-point gap between June and December contracts reflects that uncertainty.
  • Resolves via portwatch.imf.org shipping traffic data; normalization likely requires sustained passage rates returning to pre-conflict baselines.
