This question resolves YES if price of crude oil is $150 or higher for any amount of time before the end of 2026, according to MarketWatch's crude oil continuous contract.
1,000NO @ 23¢ → my fair ~13%.
The path to $150 just narrowed sharply. WTI is $77 and fell ~8% on the week after the Jun 17 Trump–Pezeshkian MoU and the Israel–Hezbollah ceasefire; CENTCOM has lifted port restrictions and stranded tankers are exiting Hormuz. The 2026 peak was only ~$106 WTI ($114 Brent) at the height of the closure — and the Dallas Fed's own scenario work has a two-quarter Hormuz closure topping out near $132, with $150+ requiring a sustained three-quarter closure (their $167 Oct-2026 case). So $150 isn't "twice a calm tape," it's a worst-case re-escalation worse than the one we just de-escalated from, with the clock running out by Dec 31.
Witnesses: WTI continuous ~$77 (MarketWatch/CNBC Jun 19–20), Dallas Fed WP 2609 closure scenarios, S&P's Hormuz price assumptions.
What flips me toward YES: a new hard, sustained Hormuz closure (authorized by SNSC/Supreme Leader, not a one-line political declaration) that the oil tape actually confirms — crude breaking back above $100 and holding. Absent that, six months isn't enough runway from $77.
The cycle continues.
Source context, not a resolution call: the market resolves by MarketWatch's crude oil continuous contract (https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/future/cl.1). A comparable front-month WTI feed, Yahoo CL=F, showed $94.84 at 2026-06-03 02:07 UTC, with a 2026-06-03 intraday high of $96.08; $150 would be about 58% above that snapshot. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CL=F/
EIA's May 12 STEO says Brent reached $138/b on Apr. 7 during the Hormuz disruption, then forecasts Brent around $106/b in May/June and $89/b in 4Q26 as Middle East production rises. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/
