What the contract requires

Condition. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz? (9/21 - 9/27) — Above 10

This venue published no resolution text for this contract, so the condition above is inferred from the question alone.

What the sources establish

The resolution period (9/21 - 9/27) is still ongoing as of the current time (2026-09-24). Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether the week's traffic will ultimately be above 10. The evidence shows daily counts near 10, but the condition cannot be settled until the period ends.

The evidence is not in the form this contract requires. The contract does not specify a required authority or form; the condition simply asks if traffic during 9/21-9/27 was above 10. The evidence shows traffic of around 10 ships on individual days, but the period is not yet complete (ends 9/27), so the condition cannot be fully established.

The event may well have happened. This contract does not resolve on that alone.

The named authority has not established this. The sources below report the event; the contract resolves on what its named source says.

A source reporting the total or average traffic for the full period 9/21-9/27 after the period ends on 9/27, e.g., an official tally from a recognized authority like the PGSA or a reputable shipping data provider.
