Pakistan’s military, led by Chief Asim Munir, is mediating between the US and Iran and preparing for direct talks in Islamabad. The market on Trump agreeing to Iranian demands in April is at 51.5% YES, up from 28% a week ago.
Market reaction
The Trump agreeing to Iranian Oil sanction relief in April market moved to 51.5% on the mediation news. Daily volume is $1,977 in USDC, with a $286 cost to move the price 5 percentage points, indicating moderate liquidity.
The likelihood of Trump announcing a ceasefire breach by April 21 has dropped sharply. The ceasefire announcement by April 21 market is at 9.0% YES, down from 33% a week ago. Traders are pricing in Pakistan’s role in extending the ceasefire.
Why it matters
The diplomatic meeting locations market puts the probability of no qualifying US-Iran meeting by June 30 at just 2.1% YES. That near-certainty of a meeting reflects Pakistan’s active preparations and security arrangements for hosting talks in Islamabad.
The US has publicly praised Pakistan’s mediation role, which gives the effort more weight than previous back-channel attempts. At 51.5¢, a YES share pays $1 if Trump agrees to Iranian demands this month, a 2.78x return. That bet requires believing a real diplomatic shift happens within April.
What to watch
Any official confirmation from Washington, Tehran, or Islamabad about scheduled talks could move these markets fast. The ceasefire breach market at 9% suggests traders see low risk of collapse in the near term, but that number was 33% just a week ago, so sentiment can reverse quickly.
