The Trump-imposed ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is now active, pushing the April 30 ceasefire market to 94% YES, up from 45% last week.

Market reaction

The April 30 ceasefire market spiked 13 points after the announcement. The Israel suspension of offensive by April 30 market sits at 96% YES, consistent with trader expectations of reduced military action in the near term.

Why it matters

The term structure tells a specific story. The June 30 ceasefire market is at 97% YES, only 3 points above the April 30 odds. The narrow spread between the two dates suggests traders see this as a temporary pause rather than a durable settlement. If confidence in lasting peace were high, the June 30 market would sit closer to 99%.

Total USDC traded across the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire markets is $1,205,891. But $50,093 is still enough to move the market 5 points, meaning a few large trades can shift prices quickly despite the overall volume.

A YES share in the April 30 market at 94¢ pays out little, which matches the high confidence in the ceasefire holding through that date. The slight uptick in June 30 odds signals caution about what happens after.

What to watch

Statements from Netanyahu or Hezbollah leadership are the most likely catalysts. Any deviation from ceasefire terms could move these odds fast. U.S. diplomatic activity matters too: further mediation efforts could either lock in the truce or expose its fragility.
