Iran’s stance remains unclear as the US hints at a deal with Tehran, while the ceasefire-by-April-30 market is at 47.5% YES, up from 17% a week ago.

The April 30 ceasefire market now sits at 47.5%, roughly double its level from a week ago. The April 22 market shows a smaller move at 31.5%, up from 12%. The biggest shift is in the May 31 market, which hit 65.5% YES, nearly doubling from 31% a week ago as traders price in possible diplomatic progress.

Volume over the past 24 hours is $699,190 USDC. The largest price move was a 10-point drop in the May 31 market. It takes $14,900 to move that market’s price 5 percentage points, which indicates a reasonably deep order book. The June 30 market is thinner: only $4,528 moves the price the same amount, making it more vulnerable to swings.

The odds shift reflects growing trader expectations of diplomatic engagement, but the source tier on the underlying news is low. The price increase may reflect speculation more than confirmed progress. At 47.5¢, a YES share pays $1 if a ceasefire is announced by April 30, a 2.9x return. For that to pay off, substantive diplomatic action needs to happen soon.

Watch for Trump announcements or intermediary moves from Oman and Qatar. Confirmed details on upcoming talks could move these markets further.
