WTI crude oil (CL) futures hover near $99 per barrel for the May 2026 contract as of late March 2026, reflecting trader consensus on a hefty geopolitical risk premium from Middle East supply disruptions totaling 8 million barrels per day, per the IEA's March report, amid Strait of Hormuz tensions and curtailed output. Prices have surged almost 40% over the past month on escalating U.S.-Iran frictions but pulled back from peaks above $110 following truce talk signals, counterbalanced by a 6.2 million barrel U.S. inventory build to 449.3 million barrels in the EIA's week-ending March 20 data. With resolution imminent by March 31, watch Thursday's EIA report and any Hormuz flow updates for final positioning swings.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, on any trading day, the official CME settlement price for the Active Month (front month) of Crude Oil (CL) futures is equal to or above the listed price by the final trading day of March 2026. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No".
For CME Crude Oil (CL) futures contracts, the active month is the nearest of the contract months listed.

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.
