Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been heavily restricted due to ongoing conflict, with Iran recently closing the strait again citing U.S. blockades. Prediction markets indicate only a 23% chance that Iran will permit unrestricted shipping in April, down 20%. Oil prices fell amid these tensions. Additionally, markets show low confidence in a near-term U.S.-Iran peace deal, with the highest probability for an agreement set for June 30. These developments highlight continued geopolitical risks affecting global trade and energy markets.
