Iran President rejects nuclear concessions, crushing Iran enrichment deal odds

Iranian President told ISNA that Iran will not give up its nuclear rights, raising doubts that an Iran enrichment deal can be reached by April 30. Prediction markets show sharp repricing: the YES probability for an enrichment agreement by April 30 fell to 16.3% (from 50% the prior day). The odds of surrendering Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by April 30 also dropped to 29.0% (from 65%). Meanwhile, later delivery windows look less unlikely: December 31 surrender odds rose to 64.5%, while June 30 stayed around 50%. The widening spread between April and June 30 (about 27 points) implies negotiations may extend beyond April. Liquidity is thin in the enrichment agreement market (around $34,430/day in USDC volume), so small trades can shift prices by roughly 5 percentage points, amplifying volatility. The April 30 “Iran enrichment deal” is priced near 16.3 cents; if it pays out, it implies about a 3.57x return. Traders should monitor IAEA updates, any new US sanctions, and military posturing, as well as fresh language from Iran’s Supreme Leader or US officials that could restart talks and reprice Iran enrichment deal contracts.
