WTI crude oil (CL) futures hover near $99.64 per barrel as of March 29, propelled by escalating Middle East tensions, including the Iran conflict disrupting supply flows and threatening the Strait of Hormuz—the largest historical oil supply shock per IEA analysis. Prices surged over 30% in recent weeks from sub-$80 levels amid war-related impediments to production and shipping, overshadowing EIA data showing a 6.93 million barrel commercial stock build for the week ending March 20. Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects elevated risk premiums, with implied probabilities favoring sustained highs into month-end settlement on March 31. Key swings hinge on ceasefire developments or next week's EIA report, amid volatile trading volume.

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.
