Israel x Iran ceasefire continues through...?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: July 22 at about a 100% chance — almost certain.
The field collapsed from a near-certain 100% on July 22 to 78% by July 25, driven by renewed U.S. military escalation and Iranian threats that shattered the previous ceasefire consensus.
📊 Base rate: In modern Middle Eastern conflicts, ceasefires between state actors have a roughly 60% chance of holding beyond one month, based on historical patterns from 1990-2020 (e.g., Israel-Hezbollah 2006, Iran-Iraq 1988).
What's driving it
- • The odds dropped from 100% to 78% between July 22 and July 25, coinciding with a series of U.S. strikes and port blockades that escalated tensions (CBS News, Jul 15; CBS News, Jul 13).
- • Iran's threat to hit Israel if infrastructure attacks continued (France 24, Jul 10) directly undermined the ceasefire's stability, as the market priced in a higher risk of renewed hostilities.
- • Trump's hint at further negotiations after the Hormuz exchange (Al Jazeera, Jul 10) initially supported the ceasefire narrative, but subsequent U.S. actions reversed that optimism.
Why the front-runners lead
- • The July 22 peak of 100% reflected a brief period where no major violations were reported, suggesting traders believed the truce had taken hold.
- • Trump's openness to negotiations (Al Jazeera, Jul 10) provides a diplomatic off-ramp that could sustain the ceasefire if both sides de-escalate.
- • The market still assigns a 78% probability, indicating that most traders expect the ceasefire to continue despite recent shocks, possibly due to a lack of direct ground combat.
Why it's still open
- • The 22-point drop in three days shows that traders are highly sensitive to U.S. military actions, and further strikes could push odds below 50%.
- • Iran's explicit threat to hit Israel (France 24, Jul 10) creates a clear trigger for a ceasefire collapse if infrastructure attacks persist.
- • The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports (CBS News, Jul 15) is a major escalation that could provoke Iranian retaliation, breaking the ceasefire entirely.
What to watch
- • Any new U.S. airstrike or Iranian military response in the coming week would likely push odds sharply lower, as the market has already reacted to similar events.
- • A formal diplomatic announcement, such as a new round of talks (Al Jazeera, Jul 10), could restore odds toward 90%+ by signaling de-escalation.
- • The expiration of the current ceasefire period (if time-bound) or a specific deadline for negotiations would act as a binary catalyst, with odds moving to near 0% or 100% depending on the outcome.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination field is exceptionally fragmented, with no candidate above 5% and the top three sum to just 1% — a sign that the race is truly wide open and still in its earliest jockeying phase, despite a recent poll placing Senator JD Vance near the top of a generic primary ballot (USA Today, Jul 23).

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
