Ceasefire odds plummet as Trump threatens Iran, traders eye May for movement

Trump’s threat of strikes on Iran and Iran’s warning of retaliation have plummeted ceasefire odds. The April 7 ceasefire market sits at 1.1% YES, down from 2% yesterday and 12% a week ago.

The market’s drop shows traders’ pessimism amid escalating tensions. The April 15 market is at 6.5% YES, down from 22% a week ago. April 30 odds are at 17.5%, falling from 40% last week.

Traders see potential movement after April 30, with odds jumping 19 points by May 31. This suggests a possible catalyst in that period, but immediate ceasefire hopes are dim.

USDC trading volumes highlight market sentiment. April 7 trades $22,948/day, April 15 trades $51,692/day, while May 31 sees $159,165/day, indicating more confidence in a longer timeframe. The thin order book for April 7, needing $12,352 to move five points, shows limited liquidity.

Neither side is fully committing to military action yet, with traders focusing on geopolitical maneuvering. At 1.1¢, a YES share for April 7 offers a 90x return, but the chances are slim.

Watch for diplomatic efforts or intermediaries like Oman. Trump’s rhetoric will be key — any shift in tone could impact these markets.
