US-Iran negotiations broke down in Islamabad, and the Polymarket contract for a permanent peace deal by April 22 sits at 21.5% YES, up slightly from 12% a week ago.
Market reaction
The April 30 market is at 40.5%, up from 17% a week ago. May 31 is at 55.5%, up from 31% over the same period. June 30 is at 69.5%. The biggest gap is between April 30 and May 31, which means traders expect May as the most likely window for a deal.
Why it matters
Volume at $698K in daily USDC traded. It takes $16K to move the April 22 odds by five points. The largest recent move was a 10-point drop in the May 31 market after the talks collapsed, as traders repriced near-term deal expectations.
The US meme blitz in Pakistan points to a soft-power approach rather than military escalation. But without concrete progress, near-term deal odds stay low. At 15¢, buying YES on April 22 pays $1 if resolved, a 6.7x return. That bet requires believing in a diplomatic breakthrough within six days.
What to watch
Any shift from Iranian leadership or new US diplomatic overtures. A Trump tweet or a statement from Tehran could move these probabilities fast.
