WTI crude oil futures have surged above $98/bbl in late March 2026, propelled by escalated Israel-Iran conflict disrupting Strait of Hormuz shipments and tightening near-term supply, despite OPEC+'s March 1 decision to modestly boost output by 206,000 b/d from April. This volatility pushed Brent briefly over $105 before ceasefire hopes triggered a pullback. EIA's latest outlook projects Brent holding above $95/bbl short-term but declining below $80/bbl by Q3 amid persistent inventory builds and softening global demand growth to 640 kb/d. Traders eye weekly EIA stockpile reports, potential de-escalation, and summer driving season demand for swings through June 30 resolution.

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.
