This market will resolve to “Yes” if the U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes a weekly figure for U.S. Ending Stocks of Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve less than or equal to the specified value after market creation for any week ending on or before September 25, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. This market will resolve as soon as the listed value is reached, or once data has been released for the final week ending on or before September 25, 2026, and the listed value has not been reached. If data has not been released for the final week ending on September 25, 2026, by October 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on the data available at that time. The primary resolution source for this market will be the U.S. Energy Information Administration, specifically the weekly data published for the U.S. Ending Stocks of Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=WCSSTUS1&f=W. Note: this market’s resolution source publishes weekly values of U.S. Ending Stocks of Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in thousands of barrels. Thus, this will be the level of specificity used to resolve this market.Ongoing SPR drawdowns amid Middle East supply disruptions remain the dominant driver of trader sentiment on whether U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve levels will reach specified thresholds by September 25. The EIA reported SPR stocks at 286.6 million barrels for the week ending August 28, 2026, reflecting a 3.1 million barrel weekly decline and a continued pace of 3–6 million barrel draws in recent reports tied to emergency releases. Commercial crude inventories near 424 million barrels have shown mixed builds amid elevated refinery utilization above 97 percent and net export strength, while total U.S. crude stocks including the SPR stand around 711 million barrels. With the next EIA release scheduled for September 10 and additional weekly reports before month-end, sustained releases or shifts in import/export flows could accelerate or moderate the trajectory toward lower levels.
