Markets Fear Prolonged Iran War – These 2 'Hormuz Stock Baskets' Show Why

Three weeks into the Iran war, markets are repositioning for a prolonged conflict lasting months rather than days.

Prediction markets assign only a 26% probability of normal traffic returning by April 30, suggesting at least six more weeks of disruption.
