The Probability of Iran Blocking Strait of Hormuz Surges to 52% On Polymarket After Trump’s Air Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Facility

The Probability of Iran Blocking Strait of Hormuz Surges to 52% On Polymarket After Trump's Air Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Facility

The probability of Iran’s leadership blocking the Strait of Hormuz for shipping has increased following the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

At press time, shares of the Yes side of the Polymarket-listed contract “Will Iran Close the Strait of Hormuz before June 30 traded at 40 cents, representing a 40% probability. That’s a notable increase from 14% Saturday. Meanwhile, the odds of the event occurring by the end of the year increased to 52%, up from 33% the previous day.

Approximately 20 million barrels of oil are transported through the Strait of Hormuz daily, accounting for around 20% of the world’s oil consumption, according to the Middle East Forum Observer. Therefore, the potential closure of the Hormuz could trigger a sustained oil price shock.

According to JPMorgan’s analysts, shutting the Strait of Hormuz could catapult crude oil prices to an eye-popping $120 to $130 per barrel.

Such a spike in oil prices, coupled with the ongoing trade war, could lead to stagflation – the worst outcome for financial assets, including cryptocurrencies.

continuing to trade above $100,000, per CoinDesk data.

President Donald Trump confirmed airstrikes Saturday evening, saying the attack Obliterated three critical Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities, calling “the bully of the Middle East [Iran] to make peace.”
