Closes in

This market will resolve to “Yes” if IMF PortWatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls (“Arrivals of Ships”) for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait less than or equal to 10 for any date between market creation and the listed date. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. This market will resolve as soon as IMF PortWatch publishes a 7-day moving average of transit calls for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait equal to or below 10, or once data has been published for the listed date and no such value has been published. If no data has been published for the listed date within 14 calendar days (ET) after that date, this market will resolve based on the data published up to that point. Revisions to previously published data points made before data has been published for the listed date will be considered; however, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions made after data has been published for the listed date will not be considered. The resolution source for this market will be IMF PortWatch, specifically the “Arrivals of Ships” data published for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730 , including both the chart and downloadable files.

Yes buyers be like:

Raskell Sep 12

War + the current block is the most propable yes scenario at the moment. The houthis don't want more international pressure atm.

Raskell Sep 12

The hardest part isn't if they can maintain a block but if they will even initiate a block that goes far enough. The best shot we have is that the current war caused enough diversions for this to go yes just from that.

Muhammad al-Houthi, the former de facto president of Yemen, a top member of the Supreme Political Council, key administrator and diplomatic spokesman for the Ansar Allah movement, has been spotted riding around in the open bed of a pickup in Mokha, the strategic city the Houthis seized on Thursday. Onlookers in the street burst into spontaneous chanting of the Houthi slogan.   🫣 Netanyahu: hiding in a bunker after attacking Iran. 🤨 Trump: hiding in a catering truck and leaving his officials to die out of fear of an “Iranian assassination plot”. 😎 Houthis: riding around in an open pickup truck in broad daylight in the middle of a city they just captured a day earlier. Pure Alpha energy.

Pretty sure announcement, and traffic going to 0 today. Weird it correlated exactly on 9/11

Prof.Money-Exterminator Sep 11

Houthis are fucking wild. Ain’t no way for Nopers

saneperson Sep 11

yemeni forces had to back off and houthis moved forward

Agree with you, the hardest part is whether Houthi is able to maintain the block. More bullish news from Hormuz Letter X, Hisn Murad, the narrowest part of the strait, just fell to the Houthis. However take this as a grain of salt as they sometimes overexaggerate.

Raskell Sep 10

That being said, of course the market conditions for a yes could be met temporarily.

Raskell Sep 10

The Egyptians won't tolerate a full closure. The chinese have shown clearly they will side with Egypt. Saudi Arabia is a clown show, but Ansar Allah can not ignore Beijing.

PMplayer Sep 10

annyone care to explain why sept 30 is going up ?

0x9F9ef1D7C979ac45BA59BB2a2b0d4Cd6Ea124C57-1771671654656 Sep 10

They literally have one more island to take on the straight and then they can shut it down... they captured 3 in a day i believe. No one to stop them.

abdoohl Sep 10

Looks like Ansarallah gonna capture eveything and we gonna get Greater Houthiland instead of greater israel!

I wish you had told me before I bought all those YES shares

zthunderfury Aug 22

Not going to happen

hyper-liquid-xyz Aug 20

Actually, not bearish anymore. You could write Aug off but Sep/Dec idk. USS George Washington replacement just arrived. Look at Al-Jazeera for updates in US Iran relations.

hyper-liquid-xyz Aug 19

I am an Pakistani ship! I went through the strait and there were not any mines...yet. I am scared once Iran gives the order, they could throw any random amount in there!

Houthis planning to seize Bab al-Mandeb Strait: Yemeni minister

DontTrustMe Aug 18

Nothing has changed btw. 🥱

yungsoleimani Aug 16

Sorry not sorry i dont make the rules i just collect the money man

DontTrustMe Aug 15

There might a tiny seasonal effect. Early-mid August is unlikely to be the busiest time of the year.

AmericaOnly Aug 13

Shipping down from 42 to 25 since 2 weeks ago. Dec here we come.

trickykid Aug 8

Just keep buying 31st Dec "Yes". Any escalation will send this bet to the moon.

"In Bab al-Mandeb, only one commodity vessel, a Bahamas-flagged dry bulk carrier, crossed the strait on Wednesday, Kpler data showed" from Al jazeera

AmericaOnly Aug 5

I love how they blasted Dubai and literally SUNK a ship in BaM and this is plummeting 🤣

ThanksGivingTurkey1001 Aug 4

resulv lil bruh

NoSteinNoGate Aug 4

It could have been resolved a week ago

Utoya Aug 4

July 31st can now be resolved right?

hyper-liquid-xyz Aug 4

It is bearish due to US willing to surrender. There is also a high threshold that has to be reached before Houthi expands it to non-Saudi ships, and even then that won't settle 100% it would settle like 50 + 7-10% per each of the 7 days.

I am Spanish ship and no way I'm getting in there. I sail around Affrica and be safe. ¡Paella para todos!

hyper-liquid-xyz Jul 29

I am Pakistani ship. Houthi gave me permission to go back and forth the strait 100 times this week! I accepted their toll and promised to support their propaganda!

NOIZYUV Jul 29

Reuters: Sources estimate that Houthi rebels in Yemen are considering imposing "transit fees" on commercial vessels passing through the southern Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
