Iran conflict disrupts oil supply, Strait of Hormuz closure impacts markets

The Iran conflict has put oil supply dependencies back in focus. The crude oil all-time high by April 30 market sits at 1% YES, unchanged from a week ago.

The conflict has disrupted energy infrastructure and supply chains, particularly through Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, creating an 11 million barrels per day shortfall that exceeds past crises. The crude oil all-time high by April 30 market sits at 1% YES, down from 2% 24 hours ago. Traders are pricing in almost no chance of prices exceeding the previous all-time high of $120/barrel before the deadline.

The crude oil price prediction for June market is also active. Traders there are pricing in crude hitting $90 by end of June, with the expected 20% move reflecting continued disruptions and geopolitical risk.

Daily trading volume is $2,513 in USDC, with a shallow order book that requires just $695 to move the odds by 5 points. The largest move in the past 24 hours was a 1-point spike. A single moderately sized trade could shift the price meaningfully.

The core question for traders: will these disruptions keep pushing oil prices higher? If the Strait stays closed and more infrastructure is targeted, prices could climb. Peace talks or strategic reserve releases could reverse the trend quickly. Buying YES at 1¢ is a speculative bet paying $1 if resolved, a 100x return.

Watch for OPEC+ actions, strategic reserve releases, and any peace overtures that might ease supply pressure. King Charles III’s upcoming US visit could also signal diplomatic shifts relevant to oil markets.
