White House Senior Adviser Kevin Hassett says Trump’s posts show progress on Iran. The market on Trump agreeing to Iranian demands in April is at 47.5% YES, down from 62% yesterday.

Hassett’s comments moved the market on whether Trump might agree to Iranian oil sanction relief. The drop from 62% to 47.5% in 24 hours suggests traders initially overestimated how close a diplomatic breakthrough was.

The sub-markets for April all sit at 47.5%, pointing to genuine uncertainty about resolution. A sharp 6-point drop at 9:40 PM indicates traders are reacting to mixed signals from the administration, particularly with ongoing military actions complicating the picture. The cost to shift these odds by 5 points is only $818, meaning even modest capital flows can move the price.

Trading volume at $18,054 in USDC shows decent engagement but not strong conviction. Traders appear to be waiting for clearer signals before committing heavily. The largest price move, a 6-point slide, came as traders digested the specifics of Hassett’s statements alongside the broader geopolitical situation.

Hassett’s remarks may signal a genuine shift toward negotiation, but skepticism remains. At 48¢, buying YES offers a potential 2.08x return if Trump agrees to terms by month-end. The question for traders is whether the current dialogue is substantive or just rhetoric.

Keep an eye on Trump’s upcoming social media activity and any official statements from CENTCOM. A shift in military posture or an explicit mention of an agreement from Trump would be the clearest catalysts.
