Trump’s warning of renewed hostilities if no ceasefire deal is reached has pushed traders further toward skepticism on a quick resolution. The market for a US-Iran ceasefire by April 21 sits at 8% YES, while April 30 is at 41.5% YES.
The April 21 ceasefire market is flat at 8% YES. The April 22 ceasefire has ticked up to 26.5% YES, from 12% a week ago. The bigger move is in the April 30 market, which jumped to 41.5% YES after sitting at 17% seven days ago, more than doubling. The gap between the April 22 and April 30 markets suggests traders expect some specific catalyst in late April.
Daily actual USDC volume across the US-Iran ceasefire markets is $699,190, with liquidity concentrated around the end-of-April dates. The June 30 market is at 70.5% YES, meaning traders broadly expect a deal eventually, just not soon. It takes $4,528 to shift odds by 5 points, so the market can absorb moderate order flow but remains sensitive to large positions.
Trump’s rhetoric points toward a possible breakdown in negotiations, making a near-term ceasefire less likely. Markets are pricing in the risk of resumed conflict accordingly. Traders buying YES on a ceasefire by April 30 at 41.5¢ would collect a 2.85x return, a bet that diplomacy produces results within two weeks.
Watch for Trump’s next statements on social media and any official communications from the White House or CENTCOM. Announcements of resumed talks or intermediary engagement by Oman or Qatar could move these markets quickly.
