3 prediction markets price this story:

• Yes — the market puts it at 14%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if any OPEC member state officially announces its departure from the organization before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake news about production quotas or price adjustments for an actual exit announcement.
• Above 8.0 million bpd — the market puts it at 25%, closing 13 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if OPEC reports that Saudi Arabia’s crude oil production in September 2026 exceeds 8.0 million barrels per day. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the source of truth, but only official OPEC data counts.
• Before 2027 — the market puts it at 9%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if the United States enforces a ban on crude oil exports that takes effect between now and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such ban goes into effect within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the news headline for the final rule, but only an actual enacted ban counts, not just proposed legislation or public statements.
