Trader sentiment on Polymarket assigns just a 12% implied probability to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait being effectively closed this year, reflecting confidence in ongoing US-UK airstrikes deterring Houthi escalation despite persistent attacks that have rerouted over 90% of container traffic around Africa, inflating spot freight rates 300%+ on Asia-Europe routes and adding $1M+ in fuel costs per voyage. Key financial stakes include 12% of global trade volume transiting the strait, with 5 million barrels per day of oil at risk, potentially spiking Brent crude above $100 if disrupted fully; insurance premiums have surged 20x for Red Sea voyages. Watch for January's US intelligence reports on Iran-Houthi ties and next UN Security Council sessions, which could shift odds amid $2 trillion+ annual trade exposure.

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/6b1814d64903461b98144a6cc25eb79c
, including both the chart and downloadable files.
