WTI crude oil (CL) futures hover near $81 per barrel, reflecting trader consensus on a fragile supply-demand balance after OPEC+ extended voluntary production cuts at its June 2 meeting while signaling gradual unwind from October. Recent EIA reports revealed a surprise 5.8 million barrel U.S. inventory build last week, pressuring prices lower alongside weak Chinese demand data and fading Middle East escalation risks. Summer U.S. driving season provides counterbalance, but range-bound trading persists amid contango structure in futures. Key catalysts include weekly EIA storage data through June 26 and early hurricane season developments, which could sway volatility ahead of month-end settlement.

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.
