**Current WTI crude futures near $82 per barrel and Brent around $87–88 remain far below the $147.27 all-time high set in July 2008, with 52-week peaks near $119.** Persistent Middle East supply constraints, including limited Strait of Hormuz transit tied to U.S.-Iran tensions, have produced sharp inventory draws and short-term market deficits, supporting prices well above year-ago levels. However, weaker global demand—especially subdued Chinese refinery runs and consumption—combined with expectations of recovering Middle East output and robust non-OPEC supply growth are capping upside. Analyst forecasts point to averages in the $80–85 range for late 2026 before further moderation in 2027 as balances shift toward surplus. Key near-term catalysts include weekly U.S. inventory data, any diplomatic progress on Hormuz flows, and OPEC+ production decisions, all of which would need to generate sustained, extreme tightness to close the wide gap to historical highs by year-end.

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.
