## Market Snapshot
The crude oil all-time-high market (September 30 deadline) is priced at 26.5% YES, up from 24% a day ago but down from 36% seven days ago. The December 31 contract sits at 34.5% YES, while the June 30 contract prices at 7.5% YES.
## Key Takeaways
– Pricing appears consistent with YES outcome support across longer-dated contracts, suggesting markets view a near-term all-time high as unlikely but a medium-term supply shock catalyst as plausible. – The steep term structure — June 30 at 8% rising to September 30 at 26% — suggests participants view a potential catalyst window opening in Q3 2026. – Recent Brent crude weakness (reported at -4.4% to ~$99/barrel on May 24) appears to temper shorter-dated YES pricing despite the scale of Iraq’s reported output loss.
