The US has indefinitely extended its ceasefire with Iran, but no date has been set for new peace talks. The odds of a permanent peace deal by April 30 have fallen to 16% YES, down from 18% yesterday.

Markets are bearish on any near-term diplomatic breakthrough. The US-Iran Diplomatic Meeting Dates market for April 23 sits at 1.3% YES. The June 30 diplomatic meeting location market has ticked up to 6.5% YES, with traders pricing in a longer timeline before any qualifying meeting happens.

Combined 24-hour face value is $1,740,575, with $423,360 in actual USDC traded. It takes $28,110 to move the peace deal market 5 points, so small orders won’t shift the price. A 4-point spike occurred at 1:42 PM, driven by rumors of a potential interim agreement, but the lack of concrete progress quickly deflated it.

The indefinite ceasefire extension without a scheduled negotiation date points to a stalled diplomatic process. At 16¢, buying YES on an April 30 peace deal pays $1 if it resolves, a 6.25x return. For that bet to make sense, you’d need to believe a breakthrough happens this week.

Watch for statements from US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff or Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. A confirmation that talks are resuming or a significant policy shift could move these odds fast.
