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 supply disruptions, policy decisions, and market conditions. The outcome depends on whether the reported reserve exceeds various thresholds.
The event determines whether the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) level for the week ending July 31, 2026, exceeds specified thresholds. All markets resolve based on the Weekly Petroleum Status Report released on Wednesday morning following the week in question. The relevant data is taken from Table 1 of the U.S. Petroleum Balance Sheet, specifically the 'Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)' row under the Current Week column. Each market corresponds to a different threshold, ranging from above 298 million barrels to above 316 million barrels. If the reported SPR value for that week meets or exceeds the threshold specified in a given market, that market resolves to Yes; otherwise, it resolves to No. All markets share the same data source and timing, ensuring consistency across thresholds.
This market resolves around Aug 12, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the official US SPR level for the week ending July 31, 2026 is verified against credible public sources. The final number reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration will determine which outcome is settled, closing all positions based on the officially published figure.
Key signals that could shift this market include weekly SPR inventory reports, unexpected changes in federal policy regarding strategic reserves, geopolitical events that affect oil supply chains, and major economic announcements influencing energy demand. Any data surprises or headlines around these themes are likely to cause rapid price adjustments as traders reassess probabilities ahead of the final settlement date.
