4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices Hormuz traffic returning to normal by June 30 at just 18%, reflecting deep skepticism about near-term resolution.
Rubio's firm rejection of Iranian tolls and ongoing UAE anxiety show the market's low probability is consistent with real diplomatic friction.
The year-end Polymarket contract on Hormuz normalcy sits at 78%, implying the market expects eventual resolution but not within days.
Resolves via portwatch.imf.org traffic data; physical shipping flow, not a diplomatic statement, determines settlement.
