The US-Iran ceasefire by April 15 market has hit 99.6% YES, up from 14% just 24 hours ago, following Iran’s consolidation of control over the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions.
Market reaction
The April 15 ceasefire market saw a 24-point spike, moving from 67% to 90% in minutes. The April 30 market now sits at 99.5% YES, up from 36% a week ago. The term structure across later dates shows minimal changes, meaning traders expect resolution before those deadlines matter.
Meanwhile, the Iranian regime fall market moved in the opposite direction. Odds for regime collapse by June 30 dropped to 8.5% YES, down from 12% yesterday. Iran’s strategic gains appear to have strengthened the regime’s position, making internal upheaval less likely in traders’ eyes.
Why it matters
Daily face value is $13.7M with real USDC volume at $4.5M. It takes $246,725 to move the April 15 ceasefire market by 5 points, which signals deep liquidity and strong conviction. The largest recent move was that 24-point spike, showing how fast these markets react to geopolitical shifts.
Iran’s new leverage over the Strait and the lifting of sanctions give it a stronger negotiating position. This likely reduces Iran’s urgency to finalize a ceasefire, given the economic and strategic benefits of its current standing. Buying YES at 99.6¢ offers almost no upside unless further diplomatic breakthroughs occur. Traders need to weigh Iran’s longer-term strategic goals against the near-term ceasefire pricing.
What to watch
President Trump’s responses and any shifts in rhetoric from US officials will matter most. CENTCOM’s next statements could signal potential military actions. Intermediary diplomacy from Oman or Qatar would be market-moving.
