(1) Ship tracking data shows that two supertankers, Shaden and Jaham, controlled by Saudi Arabian national shipping company Bahri, reappeared on Thursday morning, transmitting signals near the Fujairah waters in the Gulf of Oman. They were last seen in April in waters near Dubai inside the Persian Gulf, and had been "out of contact" for about two months.(2) These two very large crude carriers carry a total of about 4.2 million barrels of crude oil, loaded at Saudi Arabia’s Juaymah and Ras Tanura ports in late February.(3) However, just days after loading (February 28), the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran, and passage through the Strait of Hormuz became restricted, making the movements of the two tankers a mystery for some time. Their reappearance may indicate that transport through the strait is gradually resuming.

ChainCather reports that the first round of World Cup group stage matches has concluded. In the last four matches today, Portugal drew 1-1 with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, England beat Croatia 4-2, Ghana defeated Panama 1-0, and Colombia won 3-1 against Uzbekistan. Judging from the overall performances of the first round, the opening stage of this World Cup has already seen several instances where high-probability pre-match expectations were not realized. Several favored teams were held to draws, while predictions considered “high win rate” by the market turned out to be inaccurate, causing many users with one-sided positions to face larger-than-expected losses. For users of prediction markets, the first round of the World Cup further proves that high probability does not equal low risk, and unilateral positions especially require hedging tools. OmenX, a native leveraged prediction market on Base, has recently launched a new Hedge to Earn campaign. The first phase is open to Polymarket position holders. Users can claim corresponding hedging position rewards on OmenX, adding an extra layer of risk protection to their existing predictions at a lower capital cost, and manage their positions more flexibly in the event of popular results failing, significant market volatility, or sudden trend reversals. OmenX stated that Hedge to Earn is a new growth activity launched by the platform focusing on leveraged prediction markets, aiming to help users shift from “one-sided predictions” to “position management.” The campaign is currently ongoing, and users can hedge, rebalance, and manage risk on OmenX around World Cup results, championship outcomes, and other popular sports events.
