Market context

WTI crude oil will settle at a specific price level on 10 June 2026, with the market currently pricing a 100% probability that the closing price exceeds the threshold. This settlement depends on the official closing price reported by the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) at market close on that date, which serves as the standard reference for WTI spot pricing across financial platforms and trading terminals.

Historical volatility in WTI pricing suggests that 100% certainty warrants scrutiny. Over the past five years, WTI has ranged from below $30 per barrel during demand shocks to above $120 during supply disruptions. The June 2026 timeframe sits roughly 18 months forward, a horizon where geopolitical events, OPEC+ production decisions, and macroeconomic shifts introduce material uncertainty. Comparable long-dated crude contracts typically trade with wider probability distributions unless the threshold is set substantially below prevailing forward curves. The crowd's confidence here likely reflects either an exceptionally low strike price or an assumption of stable supply-demand fundamentals through mid-2026.

For programmatic traders, this market's utility hinges on the specific price level being tested. Conditional order logic would monitor NYMEX WTI futures contracts expiring around June 2026, cross-referencing spot-futures spreads and tracking scheduled OPEC meetings, US inventory reports (released weekly by the EIA), and geopolitical developments affecting production. API crude inventory data and refinery utilisation rates, published weekly, offer leading indicators for price direction. Automated systems should flag any significant deviation between the market's implied forward price and the settlement threshold as the date approaches.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
