4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices Hormuz traffic returning to normal by December 31 at 78%, reflecting moderate confidence in a year-end resolution.
Near-term Hormuz contracts tell a different story: normal by June 15 at 1%, normal by June 30 at 18%, confirming the market sees a deal as unlikely to reopen the strait immediately.
The spread between June 30 (18%) and December 31 (78%) implies the market prices in a multi-month gap between any deal signing and full traffic restoration.
Resolves via IMF PortWatch data at portwatch.imf.org; traffic must return to pre-conflict baseline levels.
