Based on: Ongoing Event
The Brent September future stood at USD 78.82 on July 13, 2026, having already surged more than 4% on news of active US-Iran military exchanges (Al Jazeera, July 13). Key event: the US Treasury revoked the temporary waiver authorising Iranian oil sales, effective July 17 at 00:01 EDT – a direct supply shock. Reaching USD 82 requires a further +4% in four days. An existing open prediction ('Brent above USD 80 on July 18') uses a lower threshold and different date. The sanctions snap and military escalation could trigger another spike on July 17. No Polymarket market available; own estimate: 34%.
