The United States agreed to oil sanction relief for Iran, marking a key concession from the Trump administration in their negotiations. This outcome diverged from the market's favored expectation, which had centered on transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement comes amidst a period of de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, with reports of a one-week pause in tensions ahead of America 250 celebrations. While the market had seen "Transit Fees in the Strait of Hormuz" as the most likely outcome, trading at 0%, the focus ultimately shifted to broader economic relief.
Background

Over the period we tracked this market, the odds for various outcomes had slipped, reflecting the fluid and unpredictable nature of the negotiations. The Council on Foreign Relations had been tracking developments in what they termed "Trump's Iran Deal," indicating a prolonged period of diplomatic engagement.
