Prediction-market traders see say the US–Iran ceasefire contract for Apr 21 jump to 99.6% YES, from 8% the day before. The “permanent peace deal” contract for Apr 22 drop to 23.5% YES from about 40%, meaning diplomatic failure chance don increase.
The rhetoric also push down the market wey dey tied to oil sanction relief to 48% YES (6-point drop later session).
