Prediction markets put the probability at 6%: Will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit (HIGH) $125 in June. Currently, markets see this as unlikely (6% YES). | WTI Crude •11 mins | 95.38 | -0.64 | -0.67% |.
WTI crude settled at $95.38 on June 3, 2026, sitting roughly 24% below the threshold required for WTI Crude Oil (WTI) to hit (HIGH) $125 in June. Prices surged 6.66% at the start of the month to $93.18 after Israel expanded its Lebanon offensive and the United States conducted strikes on Iran, with Brent moving in lockstep to $96.22. The geopolitical premium has been a primary driver of recent volatility, though the magnitude of the rally has fallen well short of the ~31% additional move required from current levels to clear the $125 strike.

Goldman Sachs said in a June 5 note that global oil demand has declined more than expected, citing two-sided risks to its Q4 2026 Brent forecast of $90 and WTI forecast of $83 per barrel. The bank estimated 4 million to 5 million barrels per day of global oil demand destruction in April, attributing roughly 4% to 5% of the global demand drop to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers. The downward revisions to demand stand in tension with the geopolitical supply premium and constrain the probability that WTI Crude Oil (WTI) will hit (HIGH) $125 in June, with the bank's full-year base case sitting roughly $42 below the strike.

U.S. inventory data has provided a partial counterweight to the demand-destruction narrative, with the EIA reporting crude stocks in "freefall" through early June. WTI rose $1.38 to $95.14 on June 3 following the inventory release, and gained $1.04 the prior session despite a surprise gasoline build. For WTI Crude Oil (WTI) to hit (HIGH) $125 in June, prices would need to break through the $100 psychological level and sustain a rally of roughly $30 within the remaining weeks of the month — a move historically associated with sustained supply disruption rather than inventory drawdowns alone.
