West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil front-month futures settled at $102.79 on March 29, propelled by acute supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating Middle East conflict, including recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran that briefly spiked prices to $120 intraday on March 9. This marks the highest levels since July 2022, reflecting trader consensus on tighter global balances despite OPEC+'s modest 206,000 bpd output hike agreed March 1. U.S. inventories await Thursday's EIA report, with prior builds offset by robust demand signals from China's stockpiling. As March settlement nears, volatility hinges on geopolitical flare-ups or de-escalation, with Brent crude mirroring at similar elevated yields.

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.
