How it resolves
Settled on-chain by UMA's optimistic oracle: once an outcome is clear, anyone can propose the result, which then enters a challenge window where it can be disputed with evidence before it finalizes.
⚖️ A proposed outcome can be disputed during a challenge window before it's final.
Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to “Yes” if IMF Portwatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls (“Arrivals of Ships”) for the Strait of Hormuz equal to or above 60 for any date between market creation and July 31, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Daily transit calls include container, dry bulk, roll-on/roll-off, general cargo, and tanker ships. Ships not reported by IMF Portwatch will not be considered. This market will resolve as soon as IMF Portwatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls equal to or above the specified level, or once data has been published for the final date in the specified period and no such value has been published. If no data has been published for the final date of the specified period within 14 calendar days (ET) after the end of that period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point. Revisions to previously published data points made within this market’s timeframe will be considered. However, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions to previously published data points after data is published for July 31, 2026, however, will not be considered. In case of obvious data integrity issues (i.e., erroneous data), the market may remain open until the end of the third calendar day (ET) after the date on which such data is first released to allow for corrections. Data integrity issues refer only to clerical or other similar errors in the underlying data, and do not include cases where IMF Portwatch differs from alternative sources. The resolution source for this market will be IMF Portwatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.

The field is highly concentrated at the top, with Kennedy and Vance combining for 92% of the odds, but the real story is Kennedy's surge to 49%—a position that lacks any clear recent headline catalyst, as the provided headlines focus on Democratic odds, Loomer's Ukraine meeting, and a Buttigieg-Vance poll, not Kennedy.

The field is moderately concentrated with the top three buckets capturing 67% of probability, but the 24-hour +9-point surge toward the leading range (280-299) suggests a specific catalyst—likely Musk's recent legal setback (Reuters, Jul 6) or a burst of posting activity—rather than a structural shift in his habits.

The field is moderately concentrated but highly fluid, with the top three holding 45% of odds among 128 candidates; the single biggest recent shift is the Nevada Democratic Party's decision to give up its first-in-the-nation primary status (The Nevada Independent, Jul 24), which weakens the retail-politics advantage of candidates like Newsom and Buttigieg and could boost those with national name recognition like Harris or AOC.

Will the U.S. invade Iran before 2027?
Despite Trump's recent escalation rhetoric, the probability of a full-scale invasion has actually declined in the past week, suggesting the market views the threats as posturing rather than imminent action, especially given the lack of overnight strikes and a new maritime incident with Ukraine diverting attention.
Yes ≈ 24% chance
