Yemen Prediction Markets
Yemen markets became a focal point of global interest since 2024 due to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea - effectively closing maritime trade through Bab al-Mandeb - and the US, UK and Israeli operations against them. Markets price future strikes, ceasefire agreements, and the level of Iranian backing.
Volume jumps with every successful ballistic or cruise-missile attack on Israeli ports or Red Sea shipping, and dips during Omani mediation efforts. Highly volatile markets.
