Share
Add us on Google by Estefano Gomez Apr. 1, 2026Israel is reportedly worried that Trump might declare victory in the Middle East conflicts too soon. The odds for a US-Iran ceasefire by April 7 have dropped to 8% YES, down from 10% yesterday and 26% last week.
Traders seem to view the Israeli Broadcasting Authority report as noise. The April 15 market is at 20% YES, showing cautious optimism for a diplomatic breakthrough. The April 30 market jumped 20 points to 40% YES, suggesting potential catalysts later in April.
Trading volume for April 7 was $164,941, with $46,774 needed for a 5-point shift, indicating liquidity. The April 15 market traded $623,923, requiring $69,965 for a 5-point move, showing higher engagement. A 4-point spike in the April 30 market hints at speculation on Trump’s diplomatic actions.
Israel’s concerns may be exaggerated given Trump’s history of bold statements. Current odds show skepticism about a quick resolution. At 8¢, a YES share for April 7 pays $1 if a ceasefire happens — a 12.5x return. Without concrete actions like talks or intermediary involvement, these fears might not lead to outcomes.
Watch for Trump’s statements and moves by intermediaries like Oman and Qatar. Announcements of talks or softened rhetoric could shift odds significantly.
