Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, have driven crude oil prices sharply higher to near $100 per barrel as of mid-May 2026. This supply-risk premium underpins the 71% market-implied probability for a June settlement above $84, reflecting traders’ assessment that current levels will persist into next month absent rapid de-escalation. Softer global demand forecasts and potential inventory builds continue to cap upside, while any breakthrough in talks or increased OPEC+ output could shift probabilities toward the $77–$84 band, which carries an 17.5% implied likelihood.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
If the final trading day of the month is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official settlement price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution. If no settlement price is published for that session, the market will use the most recent published settlement for the Active Month during June.
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 the relevant 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.
