Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will arrive in Islamabad on Friday for diplomatic talks. The market on whether the Iranian regime collapses by June 30 sits at 8.5% YES, up from 6% a week ago.

Market reaction

With 68 days until resolution, the Iranian regime market trades $385K/day in face value but only $31K in actual USDC. It costs $26K to move odds by 5 points, indicating moderate liquidity. The single largest move was a 1-point spike, meaning no major shifts have occurred without substantial news.

The probability of crude oil hitting an all-time high by April 30 is now at 1.2% YES, down from 3% yesterday, alongside a 1.4% drop in Brent crude prices. This market has thin liquidity: $2,006 in daily actual USDC and a $1,020 cost to move prices 5 points.

Why it matters

Araghchi’s visit to Islamabad signals a preference for negotiation over confrontation, which traders are reading as reducing both regime-change risk and near-term oil supply disruption. At 8.5% YES, a regime-fall bet pays $1 for 8.5¢, a risky 11.8x return that only makes sense if you believe collapse is imminent.

What to watch

Monitor Vice President JD Vance’s actions and any statements from OPEC+ leaders. A shift toward military action or supply chain disruptions could swing both markets quickly.
