These markets track the level of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve for a specific week in 2026. The outcomes depend on whether the reported reserve exceeds various threshold values, reflecting energy policy and supply dynamics.
All markets resolve based on the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) value reported in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report for the week ending August 28, 2026. The report is released on Wednesday morning following the week in question. Each market has a specific threshold, ranging from above 282 million barrels to above 295 million barrels. If the SPR value exceeds the respective threshold for a given market, that market resolves to Yes; otherwise, it resolves to No. The SPR value used for resolution is taken from Table 1 of the U.S. Petroleum Balance Sheet, specifically the row labeled “Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)” under the Current Week column. All markets share the same data source and reporting schedule, ensuring consistency across thresholds.
This market resolves around Sep 9, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final SPR level for the week ending August 28, 2026, will be drawn from official U.S. government data releases. Traders should watch for the Energy Information Administration’s weekly report, which sets the benchmark for settlement. No additional interpretation is needed — the number reported becomes the market’s final result.
Key signals include weekly U.S. oil inventory reports, geopolitical developments affecting supply chains, and any policy announcements from the Biden administration regarding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Unexpected storage facility outages or changes in export/import volumes could also shift expectations. Additionally, market reactions to broader energy price movements or Federal Reserve statements on inflation may influence trader sentiment. Monitoring these catalysts will help anticipate potential swings in this market as Sep 9, 2026 approaches.
