How this market settles

If the number of transit calls through the Strait of Hormuz as reported by the IMF PortWatch is above 25 from Nov 9, 2026 to Nov 15, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes. The total is calculated by summing daily counts from Nov 9, 2026 to Nov 15, 2026. The market will resolve no earlier than Tuesday at 9 AM following the end of the period, once complete data is available.

What could still go wrong

  • The description says 'above 25' which means strictly greater than 25, but the parenthetical '(Above 25)' and 'above 25' language is consistent; however, the exact definition of 'transit calls' is not specified (e.g., inbound only, outbound only, or both directions combined).
  • The resolution date is Nov 17, 2026 at 14:00 UTC, but data completeness depends on IMF PortWatch update schedules, which could delay or affect resolution.
  • No explicit fallback is specified if IMF PortWatch data is unavailable or revised after initial reporting.
  • The 7-day window (Nov 9–15) summing methodology is stated, but the specific daily count metric used by IMF PortWatch (e.g., vessel calls, port calls, transits) is not precisely defined.
