Pronóstico: What will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit in August 2026?

Platform comparison

Market context

WTI crude oil is trading in the mid-$70s, and the market’s 0% yes pricing implies traders see August 2026 as too early for a fresh monthly print at the queried threshold. Recent market commentary points to a range-bound tape around roughly $75–$78 a barrel, with the main downside narrative tied to easing geopolitical risk and inventory accumulation rather than a clear supply shock.[1][10]

The closest comparables for reading this contract are other August 2026 oil outlooks that also centre on a broad band rather than a clean breakout. J.P. Morgan said its first surplus would emerge in August as Persian Gulf supply recovers, while the EIA’s short-term outlook remains a key reference point for expectations on production, demand and stock balances.[5][8] That combination matters because oil has recently been pulled lower by diplomatic progress between the US and Iran, and some market analyses now treat $80 as the first meaningful resistance rather than the base case.[10][18]

For traders, the next catalysts are supply and policy updates: OPEC+ compliance and output guidance, any further movement on US-Iran diplomacy, and the next run of inventory and macro data that could confirm whether the market is tightening or slipping into surplus.[10][14][18] In a thinly repriced market, even a small change in US shale supply, Gulf export flows, or refinery demand could push WTI back towards the upper-$70s or force another test of the low-$70s.[1][5]
