Will WTI crude (CL=F) exceed $96.87/bbl on Yahoo's 18 Sep 2026 daily close?

Yes

<think> Okay, let's take a look at this market question. The user is asking if WTI crude (CL=F) will exceed $96.87 per barrel on Yahoo's daily close for September 18, 2026. The market closed on 2026-09-18T20:00:00Z, but the current time is 2026-09-19T04:16:47Z. So, the close was yesterday, and now it's after that. The resolution criteria are clear: check Yahoo Finance's daily close for CL=F on 18 Sep 2026. If it's strictly above $96.87, then "Yes" (option 0) is the answer. Otherwise, "No" (option 1). Resolver 1 says that the close was $100.30/bbl. They looked at the Yahoo Finance daily bars tool, even though the direct JSON fetch was blocked. They provided evidence of the open, high, low, and close. The close is clearly above the threshold. They mention that the value is over $3 higher than the required amount, so rounding isn't an issue. Resolver 2 also checked the Yahoo Finance US daily series. They found the same close price of $100.30. They even note the exact number with more decimal places, 100.30000305175781, which is effectively $100.30. They made sure to use the US series and not the regional mirrors, as per the criteria. Both resolvers agree on the closing price. They both confirm that it's above $96.87. Even though Resolver 1 had a minor issue with the direct JSON fetch, they used the correct authoritative source. Resolver 2 used the correct method and provided more precise decimal, but that's just more data confirming the same thing. So, the market should resolve to "Yes" because both resolvers independently verified the same closing price, which is well above the threshold. There's no conflicting evidence, and the sources are in line with the resolution criteria. Also, the current time is after the market close, so the settlement can happen now. There's no indication that the event hasn't concluded yet; the close has been reported. Therefore, the answer is 0. </think> ANSWER: Yes

Resolution criteria: - "Yes": Wins if Yahoo Finance's daily Close for WTI crude futures contract (CL=F), in USD per barrel, for the 18 Sep 2026 session is strictly greater than $96.87. - "No": Wins if that same daily Close is $96.87 or below. Clarifications: - The governing figure is the Close of the single row dated 18 Sep 2026 (America/New_York session date) in Yahoo Finance's US daily series for CL=F. In the chart JSON that is the row whose timestamp falls on 18 Sep 2026. - It is that dated row's Close — not a live quote, a "last price" or "prev close" header, a day-change figure, an intraday tick, or the Close of the session before or after it. - Yahoo Finance's US CL=F series is the measure. Spot, CFDs, ETFs, a different expiry, another publisher's price for the same commodity, and Yahoo's regional mirrors (ca., uk., de. and the like, which label rows by a different calendar) are different measures.
