WTI crude oil (CL) front-month futures trade near $102 per barrel as of March 30, propelled by acute geopolitical risk premiums from the Iran conflict disrupting Strait of Hormuz shipments, fueling a record over-40% monthly surge from sub-$70 levels. Traders weigh potential de-escalation via US-Iran truce talks against persistent supply tightness, underscored by unexpected US EIA inventory draws last week amid OPEC+ production restraint. Global demand erosion from economic headwinds tempers upside, yet elevated Treasury yields and equity volatility bolster safe-haven flows into commodities. With end-of-March settlement imminent on today's close, Polymarket sentiment reflects razor-thin margins around key price thresholds; focus pivots to April OPEC+ decisions and weekly inventory releases for directional cues.

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.
