Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly US-Iran frictions and disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, remain the dominant driver of WTI crude oil price sentiment heading into late May 2026. Recent de-escalation signals, including comments from US officials suggesting a potential reopening of the chokepoint, have eased supply risk premiums and contributed to modest price pullbacks from near-term highs around $98–$100 per barrel. The EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook highlights sharp inventory draws through the second quarter amid Middle East production shut-ins averaging over 10 million barrels per day, supporting elevated spot levels near $106 in May and June before expected normalization. Traders also monitor robust US export volumes, OPEC+ quota decisions at the June ministerial meeting, and softening Chinese demand signals, all of which could influence the balance between near-term tightness and longer-term oversupply.

Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If the Active Month contract does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
Only prices achieved during the applicable trading session for the underlying market will be considered. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours.
Per CME contract specifications for WTI Crude Oil (CL) futures, a contract’s last trading day is three business days prior to the 25th calendar day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month (or four business days prior if the 25th calendar day is not a business day).
The active month changes at the start of the second trading session prior to the nearest listed contract’s last trading session. At that point, the next listed contract becomes the active month (i.e., for the final three trading sessions of the nearest listed contract, the contract for the next month is the active month). The trading session for a given business day typically begins at 6:00 PM ET on the prior calendar date.
For example, if the 25th of the month is a Saturday, the last trading session for the nearest listed contract is the session for Tuesday the 21st, and the next listed contract becomes the active month at the start of the trading session for Friday the 17th (6:00 PM ET on Thursday), assuming a standard trading calendar.
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily low price published for the Active Month WTI Crude Oil (CL) futures contract by CME Group may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the underlying market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Active Month WTI Crude Oil futures "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore?search=WTI, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
