The $4.123 reported last Tuesday is probably heading to a decline to $4.10 or under, as the \u201cNo\u201d tied to the latter figure is going for $0.93 in the Interactive Brokers prediction market. But costs are still elevated from a historical standpoint, as the Middle East conflict and the associated closure of the Strait of Hormuz continue to disrupt critical energy flows. Indeed, the $4.00 \u201cYes\u201d is at $0.75, with the result poised to arrive around $4.04 or so. Additionally, the $3.90 \u201cYes\u201d is priced at $0.92, as a plunge of that magnitude just isn\u2019t in the cards when analyzing the correlated crude oil and gasoline futures markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"106\"
