Iran has accused the US of not being serious in talks and warned of decisive retaliation. The US-Iran peace deal by April 22 market now sits at 19.5% YES, down from 40% yesterday.

The statement triggered sharp drops across related markets. The peace deal by April 30 fell to 45.5% YES, down from 61% a day ago. The June 30 diplomatic meeting location market remains at 3.7% YES.

Ceasefire odds dropped in parallel. The ceasefire by April 30 market is at 40% YES, down from 59% yesterday. Every near-term Iran deal market moved in the same direction: down, and fast.

Volume in the peace deal markets hit $1.64M in the last 24 hours. The order book on the April 22 sub-market is thin enough that roughly $9,404 moves the odds 5 points, meaning the market is active but still vulnerable to single large trades.

Iran’s hardline stance makes a peace deal or ceasefire in the next two weeks unlikely at current prices. At 19.5¢, a YES share for a peace deal by April 22 pays $1, a 5.1x return. That bet only works if you believe a breakthrough is imminent despite Iran’s rhetoric. Without a shift in tone or new diplomatic efforts, these odds are likely to keep falling.

Watch for any CENTCOM statements or changes in diplomatic engagement, particularly from intermediaries like Oman or Qatar. Trump’s next move or any new military action could shift these markets quickly.
