West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures hover near $96.50 per barrel as of April 27, propelled by stalled US-Iran peace talks that have unraveled ceasefire optimism, injecting a geopolitical risk premium and driving prices toward $100 amid Middle East supply disruption fears. Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects this sentiment, pricing elevated end-June settlement odds despite a recent 1.9 million barrel EIA inventory build signaling softer US demand. OPEC+ output restraint and potential Strait of Hormuz tensions underpin tightness, though bearish 2026 forecasts from JPMorgan ($60/bbl Brent average) highlight downside risks from global growth slowdowns. Watch April 29 OPEC bulletin, weekly EIA data, and FOMC rate signals for volatility into June 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 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.
