Trump claims Iran will stop enriching uranium and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The market for “Iran agrees to end enrichment of uranium by April 30” is at 39.2% YES, up from 35% yesterday.

The announcement affects several related markets. The ceasefire announcement by April 21 sits at 9.0% YES, down from 33% a week ago. Traders see less likelihood of a ceasefire breach following the Strait’s reopening. The market on whether Trump will agree to Iranian oil sanction relief in April is at 50.5% YES, with increased odds that sanctions could ease if talks progress.

The uranium enrichment market has $23,824 in actual USDC traded daily, with $599 required for a 5-point swing. The largest move was a 3-point spike at 5:48 PM. The ceasefire breach market is thin: $2,128 actual USDC traded and $2,103 needed to shift it 5 points, making it vulnerable to sharp moves from large trades.

Trump’s statement points toward de-escalation, though the source is Breitbart, a tier-3 outlet with a known political bias. The news could still signal real progress if confirmed by higher-tier sources. At 39.2¢, a YES share in the uranium enrichment market pays $1 if Iran officially agrees by April 30, a potential 2.55x return. Traders should weigh the thin liquidity and potential for rapid sentiment shifts.

Watch for official IAEA statements or credible reporting that confirms Iran’s actions. Trump’s next public comments could either solidify or undermine this announcement.
