What could move it
- Any official military incident, diplomatic escalation, or announced military action by either side would likely move the odds; conversely, statements affirming restraint or dialogue could lower them.
- The market has roughly 12 months remaining before the December 2026 deadline; significant time remains for unexpected developments, but the base rate remains compressed.
