Hormuz Traffic Near Zero Is Already Happening — Sell the 'Above 3' Market
Kalshi prices 96.5¢ that Hormuz vessel transit 7-day MA stays above 3 ships/day by April 1. But the thesis implies this is wrong: with Iran tensions at fever pitch, mines/blockade risk, and insurance rates spiking, commercial traffic is already diverting around the strait. The short side here (buy NO) offers 81 cents of edge. The market hasn't caught up to the physical reality showing in shipping data.

Catalyst
