A Pakistan-brokered two-week US-Iran ceasefire, effective from April 8, 2026, halted US and Israeli attacks on Iran in exchange for Tehran's reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which has proceeded amid reduced hostilities. With expiry looming on April 22, indirect diplomatic talks have intensified, as mediators reported an "in principle" agreement to extend the truce for further negotiations on permanent terms, though prior direct sessions ended without consensus. President Trump voiced optimism for a longer deal, but Iranian warnings against Israeli actions in Lebanon underscore fragility. Traders focus on official statements and compliance signals ahead of the deadline, weighing de-escalation momentum against escalation risks.

Both extensions of the April 7 ceasefire and new agreements scheduled to take effect before or at the initial agreement's scheduled end will be considered extensions of the ceasefire agreement, provided there is no period during which no ceasefire is in effect.
If a qualifying agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of whether the ceasefire extension ultimately takes effect.
An extension of the ceasefire agreement requires clear public confirmation from both the United States government and the government of Iran that they have agreed to halt military hostilities against one another for longer than the initially agreed two-week period, or for an official extension of the ceasefire agreement in place to be otherwise confirmed by an overwhelming consensus of media reporting.
Any form of informal understanding, backchannel communication, de-escalation, or unilateral pause in hostilities without a confirmed agreement on a qualifying extension will not qualify. Similarly, newly agreed-upon humanitarian pauses, limited operational pauses, or temporary tactical stand-downs will not qualify.
A newly agreed-upon broader peace deal will qualify if it includes a qualifying extension of the ceasefire agreement/halt in military hostilities. Agreements that outline future negotiations or de-escalation measures, but do not explicitly commit to extending the ceasefire, will not qualify.
This market’s resolution will be based on official statements from the United States government and the government of Iran. However, an overwhelming consensus of credible media reporting confirming that an official ceasefire extension agreement has been reached will suffice.
