Market context

WTI Crude Oil futures have retreated sharply to roughly $69.50 per barrel as of mid-June 2026, driven by a rapid unwinding of wartime risk premiums following a confirmed US–Iran peace deal and IMO safety guarantees for tankers in the Strait of Hormuz[2][3]. Prices now sit approximately 40% below their conflict peak, with the August contract breaking below the $70 level after a 4.67% sell-off on Wednesday[2]. This collapse frames the current 0% crowd-implied probability for higher outcomes, as historical precedents show that geopolitical peace deals often trigger sustained downward corrections rather than temporary dips, especially when inventory draws like the recent 6.1 million barrel EIA report coincide with firm demand[2].

Traders must monitor upcoming EIA inventory reports, gasoline demand schedules, and any potential reversals in the peace deal, as these are the primary catalysts for price volatility in June 2026[2]. The latest data reveals U.S. crude stocks at 412 million barrels, well below the five-year average, while gasoline demand remains firm at 8.8 million barrels per day despite a modest inventory build[2]. Any shift in these fundamentals or a breakdown in the IMO safety guarantees could alter the trajectory, but the current trend of easing tensions suggests prices will likely remain suppressed unless a new geopolitical shock emerges[2][3].

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.
