Chinese officials have urged Iran to seek a ceasefire with the US. The market for a US-Iran ceasefire by April 15 is at 99.6% YES, up from 14% just 24 hours ago.
China’s involvement coincides with ceasefire odds now near certainty across all sub-markets. The April 15 market saw the largest recent move, a 24-point spike from 67% to 90%, driven by $1.68M in USDC traded. The April 30 and May 31 markets sit at 99.5% YES each. Combined 24-hour volume across these markets is $13.7M face value, with $4.5M in real USDC.
Meanwhile, the US forces enter Iran by April 30 market sits at 99.8% YES, unchanged despite de-escalation signals. Traders see little chance of ground troops crossing into Iran imminently. Daily volume on this contract is $68.4M in USDC, indicating strong conviction.
The ceasefire markets have compressed to the point where buying YES at 99.6¢ offers almost no upside. The near-consensus pricing reflects broad trader agreement on a temporary halt in hostilities, but the entrenched positions of both the US and Iran mean any breakdown in talks could reprice these contracts quickly.
Watch for statements from Oman and Qatar, both active diplomatic intermediaries. Any confirmed direct engagement or shifts in rhetoric could lock these odds in place. CENTCOM operational updates or changes in US troop deployments would also move these markets.
