The UAE plans to join a U.S.-led coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the U.S. successfully conducted a rescue operation in Iran despite losing an aircraft. Odds for a ceasefire by April 7 are at 1% YES, down from 2% a day ago.

The focus is on military action rather than a ceasefire. The April 7 market remains at 1% with four days left. Odds for April 15 are 6%, a 2-point drop. The April 30 market fell from 24% to 17.5%.

The biggest change is between April 30 and May 31, with a 19-point increase, indicating traders expect possible developments. However, the May 31 market dropped from 46% to 36%. This trend shows doubt about a near-term ceasefire.

USDC traded in the last 24 hours was $430,773. The April 7 market’s shallow order book, needing $12,367 to move 5 points, shows vulnerability to large trades and low confidence in a quick resolution.

The UAE’s naval involvement and U.S. military actions point to escalation. With a YES share for an April 7 ceasefire at 1¢, the market offers a 100x payout if resolved, but odds are slim. Traders might find more opportunity in longer-dated markets with potential volatility.

Watch for the UN Security Council resolution vote on April 9 and any shifts in U.S. or Iranian military actions, which could affect market odds.
