Ongoing Middle East geopolitical tensions, centered on the US-Iran conflict and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, remain the dominant driver lifting crude oil prices as of late May 2026. Supply disruptions have prompted significant production shut-ins across Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other regional producers, contributing to sharp inventory draws and supporting front-month WTI and Brent benchmarks above $100 per barrel in recent weeks. The EIA’s May Short-Term Energy Outlook projects Brent averaging around $106 per barrel through June amid these constraints, though easing flows later in the quarter could pressure prices lower. Traders are also monitoring OPEC+ output decisions, non-OPEC supply growth from the US and Brazil, and any signs of demand destruction from elevated prices. Key near-term catalysts include potential ceasefire developments or gradual reopening of shipping lanes, which could shift the risk premium embedded in current market-implied levels.

For CME Crude Oil (CL) futures contracts, the active month is the nearest of the contract months listed. The active month becomes a non-active month effective two business days prior to the spot month expiration. For example; if the spot month expires on a Friday the next listed contract will be considered the Active Month on the Wednesday prior to the spot month expiration.
Only the Active Month's official settlement price published by CME Group will be considered. Intraday trades, highs, lows, bids, offers, midpoint values, or indicative prices do not count.
Note that the settlement price may differ from the last traded price. CME's methodology to determine the settlement price can vary by commodity and contract.
Only days on which CME publishes an official settlement price for the Active Month will be included. Days without settlement prices (weekends, holidays, or market closures) are ignored.
This market will resolve based on the settlement price as it appears on the CME settlement page at the time it is first published for that trading day, regardless of any later corrections or updates.
The resolution source for this market is the CME Group website — specifically, the daily "Settlement" price for the Active Month of Crude Oil (CL) futures.
