US-Iran Ceasefire
Share
Add us on Google by Estefano Gomez Apr. 1, 2026The US has postponed planned strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure to April 6, favoring diplomacy over immediate action. The US-Iran ceasefire by April 7 market is at 7.5% YES, down from 8% yesterday and 26% a week ago.
This delay indicates the US is still exploring diplomatic solutions. The April 15 market is at 18.5% YES, and the April 30 market is at 36.5% YES. A notable jump occurs between April 30 and May 31, suggesting traders expect a significant event in early May. The term structure shows increasing optimism, with a 19-point rise between April 30 and May 31.
Ceasefire markets are active, with $7.4M in total face value traded in the last 24 hours and $1.4M in USDC. Market depth is strong, needing $31,494 to move April 7 odds by 5 points. A 2-point drop at 8:13 AM today reflects reassessment of a near-term ceasefire.
For traders, the strike delay is a pause, not a strategy change. Odds show skepticism about a quick ceasefire. At 7.5¢, a YES share for an April 7 ceasefire pays $1 if it resolves, offering a 13.3x return. This is high-risk without imminent diplomatic progress.
Watch for announcements from Oman or Qatar, or changes in US-Iran rhetoric. These could shift ceasefire odds. Any scheduled talks or diplomatic breakthroughs would likely impact markets.
