Lebanese families are cautiously returning to the south following a 10-day truce agreement between Lebanon and Israel. The market for an Israel x Hezbollah ceasefire by April 30 is at 93.7% YES, up from 45% a week ago.

The June 30 ceasefire market is at 96.6% YES, up from 67%. The 49-point leap in the April market shows traders pricing near-term de-escalation as close to a done deal. The Lebanese army’s call for caution, though, points to how fragile this truce actually is.

Trading volume in the April ceasefire market is $1,041,878 in USDC traded daily. It takes $50,093 to move the odds 5 points, meaning the order book is thick enough to absorb medium-sized orders without dramatic price swings. The largest single move was a 13-point spike on strong immediate demand for YES shares.

The return of displaced persons signals potential stability, but the situation is volatile. Hezbollah’s compliance is uncertain, and Israeli forces are still present in the south. At 94¢, buying YES for an April 30 ceasefire pays $1 if it resolves, a 1.06x return. For that bet to pay off, you need to believe the truce holds despite these uncertainties.

Watch for Netanyahu and IDF statements; any indication of resumed hostilities could shift odds quickly. Comments from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio could also signal the direction of US diplomatic efforts.
