The shaded band shows the range of outcomes the model calculates, not a single prediction. Each labeled
line is a percentile of that distribution.
The median (P50) is the calculated middle path: half of modeled outcomes fall above it, half below. The
inner band, between P25 and P75, holds half of all calculated outcomes. The outer limits, P5 and P95,
bound the 90% probability density layer, leaving 5% of modeled outcomes beyond each edge.
A wider band further out reflects greater uncertainty over longer horizons. These are modeled
probabilities, not guarantees. Past performance doesn't guarantee accuracy.

Crude oil's two-month outlook hinges on Strait of Hormuz diplomacy. & Analysis underpinning the 10-Year HMX 1.75 Probabilistic Forecast
Over the next two months, crude oil's path will be dominated by geopolitical risk centered on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's actions and diplomatic efforts with Oman are causing wild price swings, with moves of 5% or more in a single day. Macro conditions add complexity: the Federal Reserve is monitoring oil-driven inflation, though prediction markets show only a moderate chance of rate hikes. The key medium-term factor is the resilience of global supply buffers. Record volumes of oil in transit and increasing use of alternative routes are preventing full-blown supply panics, but the underlying fragility means any escalation could quickly test these cushions. Inventory draws in the U.S. and OPEC+'s production stance provide underlying support.
The Strait of Hormuz's fragile recovery
Vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz show high volatility, but oil prices are moving more on geopolitics than actual flow volumes. Kpler data suggests a range-bound market, where diplomatic breakthroughs could trigger sharp drops, while escalations prompt spikes. This disconnect means the physical supply chain is adapting with alternative routes, but the market's psychology remains tied to headlines from the region. Iran's rejection of Oman's proposal for joint management heightens friction, keeping the risk premium alive.
U.S. inventories and OPEC+ discipline
Weekly U.S. data revealed the largest inventory draw since mid-June, underscoring tight domestic buffers. Combined with expectations of an OPEC+ production pause, this has fueled price rebounds. However, refinery crack spreads are growing, indicating downstream supply stress that isn't fully reflected in futures prices.
Physical dislocations and paper calm
Physical crude premiums and high freight costs point to severe supply stress, while paper futures trade in the low-to-mid $80s range. This divergence highlights logistical risks, such as hull war insurers restricting cover for Red Sea transit, which threaten key maritime corridors without immediately spiking futures.
HMX 1.75 Forecast chart for Crude Oil: about 4 years of recorded history on the left, a 2 years probability fan on the right. Over that 4 years window the price was volatile, fell 5% from about $89.0 to a window high near $112.0, with a deepest peak-to-trough drawdown of roughly 39%. Today the price is approximately $84.7 (about 24% under the window high); on the forecast it sits inside the 1 year interquartile range, i.e. broadly fairly valued. Looking forward, the median path centres on a decline of about 5% over the next 2 years, ending near $80.1. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 65% of the median and the band widens sharply with horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $60.8, about 28% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $113.0, about 34% above it. Overall the spread is upside-skewed (a fatter tail toward higher prices). Note the median is not monotonic: it peaks near 84.8 then retraces about 15%, a spike-and-pullback shape that reflects disagreement among the aggregated inputs rather than a smooth trend. Produced by HMX 1.75, a raw aggregation model that combines independent predictions into a single probabilistic forecast; agreement among inputs is not consensus, and there is no guarantee of results.

Model Description
HMX 1.75 is the current production release of the Heatmup forecasting engine. It operates as an equally weighted baseline: every model in the ensemble pool contributes equally to the final distribution, regardless of individual track record. The output is a probability distribution over future price and time for each covered asset, rendered as a heatmap. Percentile bands (P5 to P95) capture 90% of modeled outcomes. Every generated distribution is archived with an immutable ID and public timestamp and resolved later against the realized market price. HMX 1.75 is not an AI system under the EU AI Act; it is a deterministic quantitative aggregation engine.

Methodology
HMX aggregates outputs from a proprietary pool of independent quantitative models operating in strict isolation. Each model produces discrete predictions (date, target price, probability) without visibility into the others. The HMX engine combines these inputs using time-decay weighting, which prioritizes recent data, into a single probability distribution per asset. The process is deterministic: identical inputs produce identical outputs. No machine learning is applied at inference. HMX 1.75 uses equal weighting, meaning every model in the pool contributes equally regardless of historical track record. Accuracy-weighted calibration, where model influence is proportional to resolved performance, is scheduled for HMX 2.0 in September 2026.

What is the 10-year HMX 1.75 probabilistic forecast for Crude Oil August 2026?
Crude Oil 10-year-forecast median is $90.2 ($62.2 to $125.0), wide. HMX 1.75 Probabilistic forecast chart for Crude Oil, plotting roughly 10 years of price history against a 10 years forward projection. History across the 10 years window has been extremely volatile: price climbed 103% off a start around $41.8, peaking near $121.0 and at one point pulling back about 77% from its running high. The current price is about $84.7, sitting roughly 30% below the window high. Against the forecast it falls inside the 1 year interquartile range, i.e. broadly fairly valued. For the next 10 years, the median centres on a rise of roughly 7%, finishing around $90.2. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 70% of the median and the band widens sharply with horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $62.2, about 27% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $125.0, about 48% above it. Overall the spread is roughly symmetric. One caveat: the median rises to about 99.3 before easing roughly 9%, so the path is a spike-and-retrace rather than a clean trend, a sign of divergence between the underlying inputs.

('Calibration of HMX 1.75 is measured by assigning each resolved forecast to the percentile band containing its realized price, defined as the OHLC4 midpoint of the resolving bar, and aggregating these assignments across all covered assets and dates into a probability integral transform (PIT) histogram. All published metrics derive from this histogram and the computation is deterministic. Reported metrics are the calibration slope and intercept, Expected and Maximum Calibration Error (the latter equal to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance on the PIT under this binning), prediction interval coverage for the central fifty and ninety percent intervals, reduced chi-square PIT uniformity, and interval sharpness. These are summarized in the Market Intelligence Score, a proprietary Heatmup composite on a zero to one hundred scale that weights calibration error, tail behaviour, calibration slope, distributional uniformity, and sharpness; it is not an industry standard, and its normalization functions are published with the scoring code so the composite is auditable. The current figures describe the equally weighted baseline over the live resolved-forecast window to date and are computed by Heatmup Oy. The underlying resolved-forecast data and scoring code are published so the metrics can be independently reproduced and verified. Measurement of calibration is distinct from a representation that the output is calibrated or guaranteed; the score is a diagnostic.
