Amid the 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis sparked by Iran-US tensions, trader consensus prices in persistent low shipping volumes, with daily commercial transits averaging just 6-20 vessels versus the pre-conflict norm of around 100, according to April 30 Kpler data. This choke point, handling 20% of global oil flows, has triggered over 850 million barrels in supply shortfalls since February, driving Brent crude to $105.80 per barrel on May 1 and VLCC tanker rates to record highs exceeding $280,000 per day on Middle East-Asia routes. Elevated insurance premiums and rerouting costs amplify market volatility, while the US-led maritime freedom coalition launch and upcoming UN Security Council discussions loom as pivotal catalysts before May 31.

The number of daily transit calls/arrivals includes 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 daily number 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 May 31, 2026, however, will not be considered.
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.
