This event tracks the level of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve for a specific week in 2026. It reflects how much oil is stored in emergency reserves, which can be influenced by factors like production levels, imports, and government policies. The outcome depends on whether the reserve exceeds various threshold levels at the end of the week.
The event determines whether the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) exceeds specified thresholds for the week ending August 21, 2026. Each market corresponds to a different threshold, ranging from above 284 million barrels to above 297 million barrels. Resolution is based on the Weekly Petroleum Status Report released on Wednesday morning following the week in question. The report’s Table 1, under the “Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)” row and the Current Week column, provides the official SPR value used to assess all markets. If the reported value surpasses a given threshold, the corresponding market resolves to Yes; otherwise, it resolves to No. All markets share the same data source and timing, ensuring consistent evaluation across thresholds.
This market resolves around Sep 2, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the official weekly US SPR level is reported and verifiable from credible public sources. The final number, released by the relevant government agency, will be compared against the market’s defined bins or thresholds to determine which outcome — for example, a level above or below a specific quantity — is correct.
Key signals that could shift this market include unexpected changes in U.S. strategic petroleum reserves releases or emergency draws, shifts in global oil supply dynamics, and energy policy announcements from the administration. Additionally, geopolitical tensions or infrastructure disruptions that affect storage or reporting could cause rapid repricing. Traders will watch weekly inventory reports, refinery status updates, and any official statements closely as Sep 2, 2026 approaches.
