The biggest gap in today's sheet is on Iran's uranium stockpile market. Polymarket is effectively pricing the contract at about 84c NO / 16c YES, while Naly's read is closer to 96c NO / 4c YES. That is a meaningful difference for a binary market with less than three weeks left before resolution, and it sets the tone for the rest of this roundup: in several contracts, the market still looks too anchored to tail-risk headlines rather than the current causal path.
- Naly sees the cleanest edge in the Iran uranium market because negotiations just ended without a deal and Tehran still resists the specific surrender framing the contract needs.
- Both April WTI extremes still look overpriced on one side, but for different reasons: the ceasefire crushed the odds of a quick return to $120, while the remaining war premium makes an immediate collapse to $80 harder than the market suggests.
- The UAE strike market still appears too hot because Gulf incentives favor deterrence and diplomacy over opening a direct state-on-state front.
- In UFC 327, available pricing and matchup structure make Jiří Procházka look slightly underpriced versus Carlos Ulberg, though event-time volatility remains high.
5 Mispricings at a Glance
Why we disagree: Public reporting points to dilution or limits, not surrender of custody.
Will UAE strike Iran by April 30?
Why we disagree: The UAE still has stronger incentives to avoid direct retaliation than to escalate into an overt war role.
Will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit (HIGH) $120 in April?
Why we disagree: After the ceasefire, spot has fallen well below the threshold and a fresh shock is now required.
Why we disagree: Sportsbook shading and experience still lean slightly toward Procházka.
Will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit (LOW) $80 in April?
Why we disagree: The direction is lower, but the remaining distance to $80 is still large for such a short window.
How to read this: Market Price is the live contract-side quote on Polymarket. Naly Fair Price is the fair cents price implied by Naly's probability estimate for that same side on a binary $1 contract. Edge is Naly Fair Price minus Market Price. Max Payout if Correct is the gross upside from the current quote to the $1 settlement if that side wins.
Iran agrees to surrender enriched uranium stockpile by April 30, 2026?
Polymarket's quoted price is best understood on the NO side here: NO at 84c vs NO at 96c fair price. In a $1 binary contract, paying 84c for NO is both the current entry price and roughly the market-implied 84% probability that Iran does not surrender its stockpile by April 30; Naly's separate 96% estimate for that same NO side maps to a 96c fair price. That means the max payout if correct is 16c, while the fair-value edge is 12c because our fair price is higher than the market price on the same side.
Causal Chain
Key Factors
| Factor | |
|---|---|
| AP reported on April 11, 2026 that U.S.-Iran talks ended without agreement after 21 hours. | |
| The contract requires a specific kind of concession, not just general nuclear de-escalation. | |
| Recent reporting has emphasized disputes over enriched uranium status as a core unresolved issue, not a solved one. | |
| Tehran has strong domestic incentives to avoid language that looks like capitulation or foreign seizure. | |
| Even if a framework emerges later in April, operationalizing a surrender pledge fast enough for public confirmation is difficult. |
Bayesian Calculation
Alternative explanation: The market may be pricing a scenario where Washington accepts cosmetic language as functional surrender, or where a surprise mediation package creates a headline that resolution sources treat as good enough. That is possible, but it asks a lot from a negotiation that just failed on the core issue.
Fresh Checks
- AP: U.S.-Iran talks ended without reaching agreement on April 11, 2026
- AP live coverage: enriched uranium remained a central unresolved issue
- AP: the April 7 ceasefire opened a narrow negotiation window
- Reuters follow-on reporting via Iran International: Iran insisted on retaining enrichment rights while discussing interim options
Will UAE strike Iran by April 30?
Here the trade is also cleaner on the NO side: NO at 84c vs NO at 93c fair price. Paying 84c for NO implies roughly an 84% market probability that the UAE does not strike Iran by April 30, while Naly's 93% estimate on that same NO side implies a 93c fair price. The max payout if correct is 16c and the fair-value edge is 9c.
Causal Chain
Key Factors
| Factor | |
|---|---|
| AP and other recent coverage tied the region's focus to ceasefire maintenance and Hormuz reopening. | |
| Gulf states have already experienced direct vulnerability to missile and drone attacks during the war. | |
| The UAE benefits from U.S. and regional deterrence without needing to own the escalation decision. | |
| Direct state attribution matters: rhetoric, interceptions, and defensive support are not the same as a UAE strike on Iran. | |
| With less than three weeks left, the window for a policy reversal into overt attack is narrow. |
Bayesian Calculation
Alternative explanation: The market may be assuming that repeated Iranian attacks eventually force Gulf rulers to prove they are not passive. That logic is not crazy, but it underestimates how often Gulf states prefer indirect coalition action, air defense, and diplomatic cover over an attributable solo strike.
Fresh Checks
- AP: U.S., Iran and Israel entered a two-week ceasefire on April 7, 2026
- AP live coverage: Gulf infrastructure risk remained a core issue during the ceasefire window
- Reuters-based report: Gulf states remain hesitant to attack Iran directly after suffering strikes
- The National: Gulf security debate still centered on long-term deterrence, not immediate direct Emirati attack
Will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit (HIGH) $120 in April?
We prefer the NO side: NO at 75c vs NO at 83c fair price. In binary terms, 75c NO means the market implies roughly a 75% chance WTI does not print $120 in April, while Naly's 83% estimate on that same side implies an 83c fair value. The max payout if correct is 25c; the fair-value edge is 8c.
Causal Chain
Key Factors
| Factor | |
|---|---|
| AP reported benchmark U.S. crude settled at $94.41 on April 8 after the ceasefire announcement. | |
| Reuters-based follow-up showed prices rebounding modestly but still staying well below the $120 trigger. | |
| The contract is about touching a very high intramonth level, which requires another violent upside shock. | |
| Ceasefire fragility keeps tail risk alive, but that is different from making $120 the base case. | |
| The time left in April matters: every calmer trading day burns optionality for a vertical upside spike. |
Bayesian Calculation
Alternative explanation: The market may be remembering that oil already came close enough to make another spike feel plausible. That memory matters, but path dependency cuts both ways: once the war premium decompresses, re-creating the exact conditions for a $120 print gets harder unless the ceasefire actually fails.

UFC 327: Jirí Procházka vs. Carlos Ulberg (Light Heavyweight, Main Card)
This is the one contract in today's list where we lean to the YES side: YES at 49c vs YES at 57c fair price for Procházka. In a $1 binary market, 49c YES implies roughly a 49% chance Procházka wins, while Naly's 57% estimate implies a 57c fair price on that same side. The max payout if correct is 51c, and the fair-value edge is 8c.
Causal Chain
Key Factors
| Factor | |
|---|---|
| Pre-fight sportsbook coverage generally shaded Procházka as a slight favorite rather than an underdog. | |
| Experience against title-level opposition matters more in a five-round title-fight environment than in a standard three-round projection. | |
| Ulberg's cleaner style keeps this competitive, but style purity can erode when pace and damage accumulate. | |
| ESPN fight coverage listed the main event as still in progress at publish time, so this market had not yet resolved when we checked. |
Bayesian Calculation
Alternative explanation: The market may simply trust Ulberg's cleaner process more than Procházka's chaos. That would be a sensible weighting if you think technical defense dominates this matchup and that Procházka's wildness is now more liability than edge.
Fresh Checks
Will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit (LOW) $80 in April?
We again prefer the NO side: NO at 69c vs NO at 78c fair price. Paying 69c for NO means the market implies about a 69% chance WTI does not touch $80 in April, while Naly's 78% estimate implies a 78c fair price on that same side. The max payout if correct is 31c, and the fair-value edge is 9c.
Causal Chain
Key Factors
| Factor | |
|---|---|
| AP showed U.S. crude settling at $94.41 on April 8, meaning the market still sat far above the contract threshold. | |
| Reuters-based follow-up reported only a partial rebound, confirming volatility but not a straight-line collapse to $80. | |
| A fragile ceasefire can still support downside, but it also limits how aggressively traders fade risk premium. | |
| The calendar is short: a move from the mid-$90s to $80 in April would require another unusually fast repricing. | |
| This market and the $120 market are not symmetric because downside now faces a residual geopolitical floor. |
Bayesian Calculation
Alternative explanation: The market may be extrapolating the speed of the first down-leg and treating oil like it can keep air-pocketing lower once positioning flips. That can happen, but it assumes no meaningful geopolitical support reappears and that macro demand worries suddenly dominate every other input.
Fresh Checks
Conclusion
The near-term watchpoints are straightforward: any renewed breakdown in the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, explicit movement on uranium custody rather than vague de-escalation language, signs of attributable Emirati retaliation, and whether crude can hold below the first post-ceasefire shock zone. For the UFC contract, the main thing to watch is simply whether the event resolves before publication or remains open at check time.
Methodology
Naly's fair prices are probability estimates converted into binary-contract cents on the same side as the quoted market. We start with the market-implied base rate, update it with fresh evidence, and look for causal mechanisms that can still change the resolution path before the deadline. Track record and grading philosophy: /track-record.
