Iran and US expert teams are exchanging messages as part of ongoing ceasefire talks in Islamabad, with the US-Iran permanent peace deal market tracking whether a formal agreement can be reached by April 22.
Market reaction
The US-Iran ceasefire market sits at 100% YES for April 15, April 30, and beyond. The uniform odds across all dates indicate traders treat the ceasefire as already locked in, following the April 7 two-week ceasefire agreement conditioned on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trading volume remains zero across both markets.
Why it matters
The expert teams are working through the details of Iran’s 10-point plan and the US’s 15-point plan, with nuclear enrichment and sanctions relief as sticking points. No odds are currently available for the permanent peace deal market, but the active exchange of proposals between expert-level delegations is the most concrete diplomatic activity since the ceasefire began.
What to watch

Watch for statements from US Secretary of State Rubio or Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi; a joint announcement or confirmation of key concessions would be the clearest signal.
