WTI crude oil (CL) futures for June 2026 delivery trade around $105 per barrel, reflecting trader consensus on tight near-term supply amid a sharper-than-expected 6.2 million barrel US inventory drawdown reported by EIA for the week ending April 24—well below forecasts for a build—coupled with sustained OPEC+ production cuts and escalating Middle East geopolitical risks, including Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Refinery inputs held steady at 16.1 million barrels per day, supporting utilization rates above 90%, though global demand growth faces headwinds from softening Chinese consumption. Key catalysts ahead include weekly EIA petroleum status reports starting May 7, the IEA Oil Market Report in mid-June, and peak Northern Hemisphere driving season demand, which could pressure prices toward EIA's projected Q2 Brent peak near $115 per barrel before potential easing.

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 during June 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.
