Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including renewed disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz and threats to other chokepoints, remain the dominant driver of crude oil price volatility as of mid-August 2026. WTI crude trades near $84–85 per barrel after July spikes above $100, well below the 2008 all-time high of $147.27, amid mixed supply signals from Gulf production shortfalls and a sharp U.S. inventory build of 17.4 million barrels. Weakening global demand forecasts, with 2026 consumption projected to contract, contrast with potential supply recovery if diplomatic efforts ease restrictions. Key upcoming influences include ongoing EIA inventory reports, IEA monthly updates, and any progress on U.S.-Iran maritime agreements that could alter near-term price trajectories.

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.
