Prediction markets shift away from cheap oil contracts as Brent hits $100

What happened

Prediction‑market platforms have stopped offering cheap‑oil contracts after the price of Brent crude oil rose above $100 per barrel.

Key points

  • Brent crude price surpassed $100 per barrel.
  • Market makers removed low‑price oil contracts.

Why it matters

When a major commodity price jumps, prediction markets may drop contracts that no longer reflect realistic outcomes, affecting traders who bet on price movements.
