Resolution

Resolved as correct on Aug 19, 2026

The forecast period for Brent crude oil prices to cross $100 per barrel extends until December 31, 2026. The provided news context only covers events up to August 19, 2026. While articles from August 18-19, 2026 (e.g., fortune.com, oilprice.com) indicate Brent crude was trading below $100 per barrel at those specific dates, this information does not cover the entire forecast period. There is no evidence within the provided context to confirm that Brent crude has crossed $100 per barrel, nor is there any definitive statement that it will not cross $100 by the resolution date. Therefore, there is insufficient information to resolve the forecast at this time.
