Traders' 72% implied probability on "No" for Pakistan military action against Kabul by March 31 reflects the absence of official announcements or credible intelligence signaling direct strikes on Afghanistan's capital. Recent cross-border tensions, including Pakistan's airstrikes in eastern Afghan provinces like Khost and Paktia targeting Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants, have remained confined to peripheral border areas rather than escalating centrally. Diplomatic channels between Islamabad and Kabul persist amid mutual condemnations, with no primary sources indicating invasion preparations or ultimatums. Ongoing de-escalation talks and historical precedent of limited incursions underpin the market's consensus on low risk.
