President Trump announced plans to remove Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles, but Tehran promptly rejected the claim. The market on Iran agreeing to surrender its stockpile by April 30 sits at 33.5% YES, down from 65% yesterday.
Traders reacted sharply to Iran’s rejection. The April 30 market dropped 12 points after the announcement, a clear sign of skepticism about a quick resolution. The June 30 market also fell, now at 58.5% YES, down from 76% yesterday, which suggests traders expect negotiations to drag past the near term. The December 31 market still sits at 70% YES, pointing to more confidence in an eventual deal.
Volume hit $214,241 in USDC across these markets in the last 24 hours. The largest single move, a 12-point drop, occurred at 10:27 AM, quickly pushing April 30 odds lower. Only $1,635 is needed to move the April 30 market 5 points, which makes it highly susceptible to large trades and prone to volatility.
Tehran’s outright dismissal of Trump’s claim was a sharp reversal from the prospect of diplomatic progress. Iran is not ready to comply with U.S. demands to hand over enriched uranium. For traders, this is a clear bearish signal for short-term resolution. Buying YES shares at 33.5¢ could pay $1 if Iran surrenders by April 30, but the odds suggest otherwise. A 3.2x return is tempting but risky without a diplomatic breakthrough.
Watch for statements from the International Atomic Energy Agency or any new diplomatic engagements involving Oman as a mediator. Either could shift the market by clarifying Iran’s position or signaling potential concessions.
