What do the shipping lane markets settle on?
On IMF PortWatch. The average markets settle on the 7-day moving average of transit calls through each chokepoint that PortWatch shows for the named date; the "hits zero" markets settle Yes if PortWatch publishes a day with no transit calls before the deadline. Each market’s full rules are on Polymarket US.
Why do shipping lanes matter for oil prices?
The Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait sit on the main tanker routes out of the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, so traders watch traffic there as a supply risk for crude. The Polymarket US listings we read on Nov. 14, 2026 had no crude oil market; our WTI page shows the live Kalshi crude markets.
