This market will resolve to "Yes" if, on any trading day after market creation, the official daily high price published by the CME Group for the Active Month (front month) of CME Crude Oil (CL) futures is greater than $147.27 by the final trading day on or before the specified date. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". 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. This market will resolve as soon as a high price greater than the listed value is published, or once finalized data for the final trading day of the specified time period is published and a high price greater than $147.27 has not been achieved. The resolution source for this market is the CME Group website (https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude.quotes.html) — specifically, the daily "High" prices for the Active Month of Crude Oil (CL) futures.**Current WTI crude oil futures trade near $83.40 per barrel as of August 28, 2026—well below the $147.27 all-time high from July 2008—with 52-week highs around $119.** Trader sentiment on Polymarket markets for a new record by September 30 or December 31 reflects low implied probabilities (around 2% and 13%, respectively), driven primarily by persistent supply recovery from the Middle East amid partial Strait of Hormuz reopenings and easing Iran-related disruptions, offset by soft global demand—particularly Chinese refinery runs running 18% below year-ago levels. Inventory draws remain elevated due to earlier production shut-ins, but OPEC+ output is rebounding while demand forecasts for 2026 have been repeatedly lowered. Macro factors including Treasury yields, USD strength, and slower economic growth further cap upside volatility. Key near-term catalysts include upcoming EIA inventory reports, OPEC+ quota decisions, and any escalation or de-escalation in Hormuz flows that could shift the supply-demand balance.
