WTI crude oil futures for June 2026 delivery hover around $96 per barrel amid heightened volatility from fragile Middle East cease-fires between Israel and Iran, which sparked a 16% plunge last week before a partial 5% rebound on renewed tensions. OPEC+ nations, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, initiated gradual output hikes of 206,000 barrels per day in April, easing supply constraints while U.S. EIA inventories built by 5.5 million barrels to 461.6 million—2% above the five-year average—signaling ample stocks. Global demand growth forecasts have softened to 0.6 million b/d for 2026 per EIA, though U.S. summer driving season could provide upside. Traders eye weekly EIA reports and potential hurricane disruptions as key catalysts through late June 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 during June 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.
