A Singapore-flagged container ship, Ever Lovely, was reported hit by an unknown projectile late Thursday while transiting a route recommended by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations. The report also referenced a memorandum of understanding signed on 17 June and said Article 5 deals with resuming commercial maritime traffic through the strait after prolonged disruptions since a military offensive launched on 28 February.<\/p>\n<h2>Polymarket Pricing and Liquidity: \u201cNo\u201d at 96.45% With $38.06M Volume on Hormuz Traffic Contract<\/h2>\n<p>On Polymarket, the contract is heavily skewed toward \u201cNo\u201d at 96.45%, with \u201cYes\u201d at 3.55%.
