Will Crude Oil (CL) hit $90 by end of June?
Polymarket prices this ↑ $90 at 0%.
Crude Oil (CL) futures did not reach $90 by the close of June, settling below the threshold. Despite a continued decline in US crude oil inventories, the market sentiment was negatively impacted by the inventory drop being less than expected. This outcome diverged from the market's favored side, which had indicated a 0% chance of hitting $90, though those odds had slipped over the tracking period.
Background
The period leading up to the end of June saw significant pressure on crude oil prices. Brent Crude oil, a key global benchmark, experienced a substantial decline of 21% during June 2026, marking its largest monthly drop since March 2020. This downturn occurred amidst ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States, which likely contributed to market uncertainty and downward price movements.
The precedent
- Brent Crude oil's 21% decline in June 2026 was its largest monthly decline since March 2020.
