There is no indication that the Houthis intend to halt their attacks, and in any case oil companies will likely remain risk-averse, barring unforeseen circumstances elsewhere.


I have a slightly higher probability of a change because I think it's possible that other oil routes might also suffer from attacks (e.g. piracy in the Gulf of Guinea) or weather-related delays, meaning that travel through the Red Sea could be seen as more desirable (as it's faster, even if the risks are similar)

Please notice that a 94% forecast means that you are almost sure for a "Yes" outcome, which is neither "a slightly higher probability" than the crowd's nor consistent with your verbal rationale. Seems like you have accidentally flipped your forecasts for "Yes" and "No"?

Reducing previous forecast significantly.  While possible, I think it's a lot less likely to happen than I thought, and even if it does occur eventually, it may take some time.

There have already been social media posts written by artificial intelligence. I think it is somewhat likely that there will be a notable social media post with the potential for at least minor economic harm in the next month or so. If that occurs, I could see at least one of the above-mentioned companies (whether or not it occurs on their platform) imposing the listed policy.

While somewhat likely, I think the chances of it happening before June 1, 2024, are less likely than not to happen (thus, my prediction of a 42? chance of occurring).
