This set of markets focuses on predicting the exact closing price of Brent crude oil at a specific moment in the future. Each market has a different threshold, allowing participants to speculate on how high or low the price might be at that precise time.
All markets resolve based on the closing price of the 1-minute candlestick for Brent crude oil on September 14, 2026, at 5:00 PM EDT. The market resolves to 'Yes' if the closing price exceeds the specified threshold for that market, ranging from $97 to $106.50 per barrel. Prices are rounded to the nearest two decimal places. The closing price for the candlestick timestamped 4:59 PM reflects trading activity from 4:59:00 PM to 4:59:59 PM and closes at 5:00:00 PM. If data for the specified time is unavailable, the most recently published data will be used to determine the settlement. Each market's outcome is independent, depending solely on whether its specific price threshold is met.
Currently, it’s difficult to draw direct comparisons between prediction market odds and analyst forecasts, as this market is still developing. However, generally, prediction markets can offer a different perspective than traditional polls or expert opinions.

On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where traders buy and sell contracts representing different price outcomes. The price of each contract reflects the market’s assessment of the probability of that outcome occurring. Traders are incentivized to offer accurate predictions, as they profit if their predictions are correct and lose if they are wrong. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The current top outcome, as indicated by the highest trading volume, is 'Will the brent crude oil close price be above 97.50 USD/Bbl on September 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT?', though its chance percentage is not yet available.
This market resolves around Sep 14, 2026, specifically at 5:00 PM EDT on September 14, 2026. The outcome will be determined by the closing price of Brent crude oil as reported by a credible public source. The final price will be verified against credible public reporting to determine which outcome corresponds to the actual Brent crude oil price at the specified date and time. This ensures a transparent and objective resolution process for this market.
Numerous factors could significantly influence the Brent crude oil market between now and Sep 14, 2026. Geopolitical events, such as conflicts in oil-producing regions or changes in OPEC+ production policies, are major drivers. Global economic growth, or a potential recession, will also play a role, as demand for oil is closely tied to economic activity. Unexpected supply disruptions, like natural disasters impacting oil infrastructure, could also cause price swings. Finally, shifts in energy policy or technological advancements in alternative energy sources could impact long-term oil price expectations and move this market.
