This market will resolve to "Yes" if, on any trading day after market creation, the official daily high price published by the CME Group for the Active Month (front month) of CME Crude Oil (CL) futures is greater than $147.27 by the final trading day on or before the specified date. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". 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. This market will resolve as soon as a high price greater than the listed value is published, or once finalized data for the final trading day of the specified time period is published and a high price greater than $147.27 has not been achieved. The resolution source for this market is the CME Group website (https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude.quotes.html) — specifically, the daily "High" prices for the Active Month of Crude Oil (CL) futures. If finalized data for the final trading day of the specified time period has not been published on the CME Group website within 14 calendar days (ET) of the end of that period, this market will resolve based on the data published through all CME Group channels up to that point.Recent Middle East supply disruptions, including drone strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure and the temporary shutdown of the East-West pipeline, have driven WTI crude futures above $100 per barrel in September 2026, with front-month settlements reaching $105.83 amid persistent Strait of Hormuz concerns. Prices remain roughly 27% below the $147.27 all-time high set in July 2008, reflecting ample global spare capacity and demand forecasts tempered by OPEC revisions. Market-implied odds on related prediction contracts stay low for near-term resolution, underscoring trader assessment of sustained but contained risk premia. Key near-term catalysts include further geopolitical developments, U.S. inventory data, and any diplomatic progress on regional tensions that could ease or intensify physical supply constraints.
