Market context

WTI crude oil will settle at a specific price level on 11 June 2026, with traders currently assigning zero probability to the contract resolving YES. The settlement mechanism ties directly to the official closing price reported by the New York Mercantile Exchange on that date, making this a straightforward reference-price event with no ambiguity in data sourcing.

Historical volatility in WTI pricing offers context for evaluating whether a 0% crowd probability reflects genuine consensus or mispricing. Over the past five years, WTI has traded between $30 and $130 per barrel, with daily moves of 3–5% commonplace during geopolitical disruptions or OPEC announcements. The 2022–2023 period saw sustained trading above $80, whilst 2024 saw consolidation in the $70–90 range. A trader building a conditional order strategy would need to establish whether the strike price in question sits within historical norms or represents an extreme tail scenario; the zero probability suggests the market views the strike as implausibly high or low relative to forward expectations.

Catalysts shaping June 2026 WTI prices include OPEC production decisions (typically announced quarterly), US inventory reports (weekly via the Energy Information Administration), geopolitical developments affecting supply routes, and macroeconomic data influencing demand forecasts. Traders using algorithmic execution would benefit from monitoring EIA release schedules and OPEC meeting calendars well in advance, as these events routinely shift WTI by 2–4% intraday. Currency movements, particularly USD strength, also correlate inversely with crude pricing and warrant inclusion in any systematic monitoring framework.

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.
