Market context
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely depressed, averaging roughly 40 vessels daily in June 2026, far below the pre-war norm of 130 and the market’s 60-vessel threshold for “normal” operation [8][10]. Historical patterns since the February 28 conflict show that even after the April 8 ceasefire and subsequent US–Iran preliminary agreement, transit numbers rebounded only tentatively, with daily counts fluctuating between 11 and 25 ships rather than sustaining a 7-day average above 60 [6][10]. The 0% implied probability reflects this persistent gap: despite a US naval blockade lift and Iran’s commitment to reopen the strait, shipping firms remain cautious due to unresolved permission ambiguities, lingering mine-clearing delays, and a 20% global supply disruption that has anchored hundreds of tankers in the Gulf [8][9].
Key catalysts for traders include the expiry of the 60-day negotiation phase from the April deal, which ends in mid-June and could trigger renewed fees or restrictions if no broader peace is reached [10]. Watch for weekly IMF Portwatch or Kpler transit reports—particularly any sustained spike above 50 daily crossings—and announcements on mine clearance progress or IRGC passage approvals, as these directly determine whether the 7-day moving average can climb from its current 5–8 range to 60 [5][7]. A recent Bloomberg report noted weekly transits hitting their highest since the war began in early April, yet that peak still fell short of the required threshold, underscoring the fragility of any recovery [1].

FAQ
- Are prediction markets better than sports betting?
- Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.
- Can I bet on individual matches?
- Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.
- What are live sports odds on Polymarket?
- Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.
- What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?
- Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
- Can I import form data and lineups?
- This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
