U.S. and Israeli officials aim to weaken Iran’s uranium enrichment before ending hostilities. The odds of a ceasefire by April 7 have dropped to 1.1% YES, down from 2% yesterday and 12% a week ago.

Markets reacted to Trump’s ultimatum extending Iran’s deadline to end enrichment. The April 7 market is nearly inactive, while the April 15 market holds at 6.5% YES. The April 30 market saw the largest decline, now at 17.5% YES, down from 24% yesterday.

The term structure shows a jump from 18% on April 30 to 36% by May 31, suggesting traders expect developments in mid-May. With only four days left for the April 7 resolution, immediate de-escalation seems unlikely.

The ceasefire market has a daily face value of $3.7M, with USDC trading at $431K. It takes $12,352 to move the April 7 market 5 points, indicating a thin order book. The largest single move was a 2-point spike in the April 30 market, showing limited trader conviction.

Focusing on weakening Iran’s enrichment before a ceasefire indicates a strategic approach rather than an imminent resolution. Market moves suggest traders see this as a genuine escalation. At 1.1￠, a YES share for the April 7 ceasefire pays $1 if it resolves — a long-shot 90x return, requiring belief in a last-minute diplomatic breakthrough.

Watch for CENTCOM statements and actions from Oman or Qatar. Changes in operational language or intermediary engagement could shift market dynamics.
