About this market
What is KXOIL Crude Oil?
KXOIL puts ladders on WTI crude: will the settlement price be above a given level? It trades mostly during NYMEX hours and responds to inventories and geopolitics. AymarData has been recording the KXOIL series since 2026-10-01 and holds 28.6K events so far — about 1,144 a day. History is forward-only; we record live and do not backfill Kalshi.
The contract is a binary on oil settlement levels. Spreads are wider than for equity-index series because fewer professional market makers are active, and quotes get pulled quickly when oil gaps on headlines.
KXOIL is useful as a cross-asset reference next to crypto and equity series: compare its response to the EIA release with Kalshi's equity-index contracts at the same moment, and with BTC to see whether oil shocks spill into crypto.
What moves KXOIL
- Weekly EIA inventory data on Wednesdays
- OPEC+ production decisions and geopolitical headlines
- The dollar and risk sentiment, which move oil with equities
