WTI crude oil spot prices have retreated to around $91 per barrel mid-April 2026 after surging above $112 early in the month, driven by escalated tensions in the Strait of Hormuz that raised supply disruption fears. This volatility reflects trader consensus on geopolitical risk premiums, now easing amid diplomatic signals, with April futures (CLJ26) trading near $98. The latest EIA report for the week ended April 10 showed an unexpected crude inventory draw of 913,000 barrels to 463.8 million, 1% above the five-year average, supporting tighter near-term balances despite OPEC+'s decision to modestly raise output quotas by 206,000 barrels per day starting May. US oil rig counts held steady at 411, signaling flat production growth. Key catalysts ahead include weekly EIA inventory releases every Wednesday and any Hormuz developments, which could swing prices toward resolution bins.

For WTI futures, the active month refers to the nearest listed contract month. The active month changes at 6:00:00 PM ET at the start of the trading session two business days prior to that contract's last trading day, at which point the next listed contract becomes the active month.
For WTI Crude Oil (CL) futures, the last trading day is defined as three business days prior to the 25th calendar day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month (or four business days prior if the 25th calendar day is not a business day), consistent with CME contract specifications.
Only prices achieved during the applicable trading session for the underlying market will be considered. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours as listed on Pyth.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If the Active Month contract does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the underlying market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Active Month WTI Crude Oil futures "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore?search=WTI, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter.
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily low price published for the Active Month WTI Crude Oil (CL) futures contract by CME Group may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
