WTI crude oil June futures hover near $95 per barrel, reflecting trader consensus on a modest risk premium from escalating Middle East tensions, including Iranian attacks on Strait of Hormuz shipping that drove a 15% weekly surge despite EIA-reported U.S. inventory builds of 1.9 million barrels to 465.7 million—3% above five-year averages—for the week ended April 17. Softening global demand growth projections amid economic slowdowns and persistent non-OPEC supply gains from U.S. shale temper upside, while backwardation in the forward curve signals near-term tightness. Key catalysts include weekly EIA reports, summer driving season ramp-up, and OPEC+'s June 7 ministerial meeting on production quotas, which could pivot market-implied odds for the end-June settlement.

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.
Only the Active Month's official settlement price published by CME Group will be considered. Intraday trades, highs, lows, bids, offers, midpoint values, or indicative prices do not count.
Note that the settlement price may differ from the last traded price. CME's methodology to determine the settlement price can vary by commodity and contract.
Only days during June on which CME publishes an official settlement price for the Active Month will be included. Days without settlement prices (weekends, holidays, or market closures) are ignored.
This market will resolve based on the settlement price as it appears on the CME settlement page at the time it is first published for that trading day, regardless of any later corrections or updates.
The resolution source for this market is the CME Group website — specifically, the daily "Settlement" price for the Active Month of Crude Oil (CL) futures.
