The probability of the Strait of Hormuz returning to normal by May 31 has significantly decreased on Polymarket, with a 6% drop in one hour and a 12% decline over 24 hours. According to Odaily, the event contract stipulates that if the International Monetary Fund's Portwatch reports a seven-day moving average of ship arrivals at the Strait of Hormuz equal to or above 60 on any date from market creation until May 31, 2026, the market will resolve as 'yes'; otherwise, it will resolve as 'no'. The daily count includes container ships, bulk carriers, roll-on/roll-off ships, general cargo ships, and tankers, excluding those not reported by the IMF Portwatch.
