Iran’s Foreign Ministry said no meeting with the US is planned. The April 24 US-Iran diplomatic meeting market dropped to 0% YES, down from 1% a day ago.
The denial moved other dates too. The April 25 market is at 4% YES, down from 5% yesterday. April 26 jumped to 20.2% YES on speculative buying despite no signs of progress. The largest move was a 19-point drop in the April 24 market, suggesting traders are pushing back their timeline for any late-April meeting.
Odds that no qualifying US-Iran meeting will occur by June 30 sit at 7% YES, down from 9% yesterday. That number has stayed low consistently, which points to most traders still expecting some form of meeting before the deadline, even if near-term dates keep getting ruled out.
Trading volume across these markets is thin. Total USDC traded in the last 24 hours: $1,042, with the April 26 market seeing the most action. The order book is so shallow that $3 can move odds by 5 percentage points, meaning even small trades can cause large swings.
Iran’s explicit denial is a clear signal that talks are stalled. Buying YES shares at current prices requires believing in a rapid diplomatic reversal, which nothing supports right now. At 20.2¢, a YES share for April 26 pays $1 if a meeting happens, a 4.35x return. But with no meetings planned, that’s a long shot.
Watch for statements from Iranian or US officials, especially any announcements from intermediaries like Pakistan. A sudden confirmation of talks would move these odds fast.
