The Strait of Hormuz traffic-recovery contract hit 8.5% at 23:19 UTC Friday — shedding 6 percentage points from a 14.5% session open — after trading as low as 0.075 and briefly touching 0.18 earlier in the session. The market resolves YES only if IMF Portwatch logs a 7-day moving average of 60-plus transit calls through the Strait by June 30, and the tape increasingly treats that threshold as unreachable with 11 days left.
