Israeli officials claim there is no one to negotiate with in Iran despite Trump’s overtures. The odds of an Israel-Iran permanent peace deal by April 30 sit at 2% YES, down from 5% yesterday and 40% a week ago.
Market reaction
The market moved quickly after the Israeli statement, which points to a deadlock in diplomatic efforts. The April 30 market is nearly defunct with just seven days left. Traders have largely shifted to the June 30 contract, which trades at 13.5% YES. The 12-point gap between these dates shows traders expect no breakthrough in the immediate term.
Why it matters
Trump’s willingness to negotiate without a receptive counterpart from Iran is dragging on the Iranian demands market, now at 11% YES. That number reflects deep skepticism that any agreement on oil sanction relief will be reached by month-end. The order book is thin, with just $461 needed to shift the price 5 points, which means sharp moves are possible on small volume.
The Israeli officials’ statement matters because there is simply no diplomatic traction right now. For traders, the likelihood of a peace deal or concessions from Trump is shrinking. Buying YES at 2¢ pays $1 if a deal materializes, a 50x return. But that bet requires believing in a diplomatic breakthrough within a week.
What to watch
Any statements from Trump’s administration or signals from Iranian officials indicating a shift in willingness to negotiate. A change in stance from either side would reprice these contracts fast.
