The Wall Street Journal reports potential settlement talks between the US and Iran that include uranium enrichment issues. Odds of Iran ending enrichment by April 30 are at 39% YES, up from 10% a week ago.

The report has pushed odds higher across uranium-related markets. The April 30 enrichment market sits at 39%. The Iran Enriched Uranium Surrender market for April 30 is at 29% YES, while the May 31 market is at 20.5% YES.

The term structure tells a clear story. The June 30 surrender market jumps from 29% (April 30) to 50%, suggesting traders expect a near-term catalyst that could produce a deal within two months even if the April deadline passes.

The April 30 enrichment market has $47,383 in daily USDC volume. It takes $2,073 to move the price 5 percentage points, a moderately liquid book. The biggest recent move was an 8-point drop, showing volatility as traders reprice on new information.

The WSJ report moved these markets because it was the first concrete signal of active US-Iran negotiation on enrichment. Buying YES at 39¢ pays 2.56x on a successful resolution by April 30. That price implies traders see a real but still minority chance of a deal closing that fast.

Watch for statements from JD Vance or Ali Khamenei. Any official confirmation of a deal, or a public breakdown in talks, will move these markets sharply.
