Two 'Smart Money' Accounts Bet $11,100 on Oil Reaching $100 Before April

According to PolyBeats monitoring, on the prediction market Polymarket, two accounts with a high accuracy rate in predicting Iran and geopolitical events have collectively bet $11,100 on the "Will the price of crude oil reach $100 before April?" proposition, choosing "Yes." Currently, the probability for "Yes" stands at 87%. On the 23rd, Goldman Sachs raised its 2026 average Brent crude price forecast from $77 to $85, and WTI from $72 to $79. For short-term forecasts, Goldman Sachs increased its March and April average Brent crude price forecast from $98 to $110. Goldman Sachs anticipates that transportation disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz will persist longer, coupled with restocking of strategic reserves by various countries, leading to a tighter market that is more susceptible to geopolitical price surges. Furthermore, if a severe 10-week disruption occurs, accompanied by sustained production cuts of 2 million barrels per day, Brent crude could surge to $135. Note: Based on their past trading patterns, these traders are not necessarily betting on the event actually happening but may engage in profit-taking or stop-loss actions at a certain point after opening their positions.

  • Iranian Media Contradicts Trump: No Direct or Indirect Contact with Him

    On March 23, according to Iranian media Fars News, sources indicated that there has been no direct contact between Iran and the United States, nor any communication through intermediaries. After learning that Iran would target all power plants in the West Asia region, Trump chose to back down. Just recently, Trump posted on social media that the U.S. and Iran had very good and productive dialogue over the past two days and had instructed a five-day pause on all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. Analysts pointed out that while there may have been some form of contact between the two sides, the key is to view everything in a more appropriate context. It is well known that Trump tends to exaggerate situations, but everything has two sides, and this is undoubtedly one of those cases that requires cautious handling. Therefore, one should be particularly careful when interpreting these latest news reports. Ultimately, what truly matters is the actual situation. Nothing will change until the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is genuinely lifted.
