With a Hormuz deal close, will Brent crude close below $90 a barrel any day b4 6/5? Mid $90's now.

Brent crude oil did not close below $90 per barrel on any trading day before June 5, 2026, resolving the question FALSE. Prices remained in the mid-$90s throughout the window, with Brent trading at approximately $96.42 on June 1 and hovering between $96.90 and $97.00 through June 3-4, according to tracking data from Trading Economics and Fortune's daily oil price reports.

The question was framed around the expectation that U.S.-Iran negotiations — expected to eventually reopen the Strait of Hormuz to full commercial traffic — could strip a significant risk premium from global crude prices. Those negotiations remained unresolved within the resolution window. Continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon and Hezbollah's rejection of a ceasefire deal on June 4 added to the regional risk picture, keeping prices elevated.

Analysts noted that even a finalized Hormuz agreement would take weeks to translate into normalized physical supply flows, limiting any near-term price decline. No such agreement was announced before the question expired.

The community correctly anticipated the outcome, with 64 percent voting NO. Brent oil would require a substantive shift in both diplomatic progress and physical supply to approach the $90 threshold.
