# WTI crude, front-month future: Head to head

Forecasts like these used to need a research department. DataSnack builds them from three things anyone can get: public data, prediction markets and the news. Here they sit beside the big forecasters' numbers, made a day earlier and graded the same way.

## What this number is made from

### Public data

The equation: ln ŷ(k) = ln a + β(k) · (μ − ln a), with a the anchor (88.47 $/bbl, the prints through 10 November 2026), μ = 4.3670 and β(k) fitted on 11 November 2026.

- [The last 5 daily closes of the front-month future (the anchor)](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CL=F) (used): The anchor, the last 5 daily closes of the front-month future known on 11 November 2026, through 10 November 2026: 88.47 $/bbl.
- [The equation's path](https://datasnack.ai/feed/versus/wti-future.csv) (used): Public data alone: 89.08 $/bbl this month, 85.63 $/bbl twelve months ahead.
