Market context

WTI crude oil's closing price on 9 June 2026 will reflect the balance between global supply disruptions, demand forecasts, and macroeconomic conditions at that specific settlement moment. The 0% probability assigned suggests the market is either pricing in an extremely unlikely price level or lacks sufficient liquidity to establish a meaningful bid-ask spread. For traders building conditional order logic or backtesting algorithmic strategies, this market presents a calibration challenge: the threshold price itself remains unspecified in the prompt, making it essential to cross-reference the actual strike price against historical volatility bands and current forward curves.

Historical precedent shows WTI rarely trades in narrow ranges over multi-month windows. Between 2020 and 2024, the contract experienced swings from $35 to $130 per barrel, driven by OPEC+ production decisions, geopolitical events, and recession signals. A 0% probability typically emerges when the strike price sits far outside the 90-day implied volatility cone—either unrealistically high or low relative to consensus forecasts. Traders using conditional orders or copy-trading frameworks should examine whether the market is simply illiquid rather than informationally certain.

Key catalysts through June 2026 include OPEC+ meetings (typically scheduled quarterly), US inventory data releases, and any escalation in Middle Eastern tensions. The Federal Reserve's monetary stance will also influence crude demand expectations. For systematic traders, monitoring the term structure of WTI futures contracts and tracking implied volatility across the June contract specifically will reveal whether the 0% reflects genuine consensus or merely thin order books awaiting price discovery.

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

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
