A massive fire at the Geelong oil refinery in Australia threatens 10% of the nation’s fuel supply as the Iran conflict continues to disrupt global energy markets. Crude oil hitting $90 by June 30 sits at 0% YES, with no current market activity on that contract.
Market reaction
The blaze compounds existing disruptions from the Iran–United States war, which has already closed the Strait of Hormuz. The absence of trading activity in the Crude Oil Price Predictions by End of June market suggests traders haven’t priced in the fire’s impact yet.

Why it matters
The S&P 500 market saw $114,324 in USDC traded over the past day. The largest price move was a sharp 22-point drop at 12:02 PM. Traders appear to be responding to broader market signals rather than the refinery fire specifically.
The Geelong refinery handles a significant share of Australia’s domestic fuel processing. With the Strait of Hormuz already closed, any additional supply disruption narrows the margin for error in global oil logistics.
What to watch
At 0¢, a YES share in crude hitting $90 by June would pay $1, a 10x return if conditions worsen dramatically. Without increased market activity, this remains purely speculative.
Watch for statements from OPEC+ or the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Any adjustments in oil supply forecasts could shift current market odds quickly.
