The shaded band shows the range of outcomes the model calculates, not a single prediction. Each labeled
line is a percentile of that distribution.
The median (P50) is the calculated middle path: half of modeled outcomes fall above it, half below. The
inner band, between P25 and P75, holds half of all calculated outcomes. The outer limits, P5 and P95,
bound the 90% probability density layer, leaving 5% of modeled outcomes beyond each edge.
A wider band further out reflects greater uncertainty over longer horizons. These are modeled
probabilities, not guarantees. Past performance doesn't guarantee accuracy.

The market is treating war like a temporary discount & Analysis underpinning the 10-Year HMX 1.75 Probabilistic Forecast
The dominant story for crude over the next two months is the market's growing disbelief in geopolitical risk. Every flare-up in the Strait of Hormuz now triggers a mechanical spike that's quickly faded. Traders have internalized the reports of record UAE output, rising OPEC+ quotas, and a U.S. production forecast at an all-time high of 13.8 million barrels per day. The physical surplus is coming, with the IEA noting a 4.1 million barrel per day rebound in June supply. The main risk isn't a supply shock; it's that demand, especially from Asia, fails to meet this wave. Saudi Arabia's record price cut to the region is a stark signal of that weakness. The medium-term window looks like a grinding contest between headline anxiety and the tangible reality of more barrels.
Saudi Arabia's $11 price cut
The single most telling data point isn't from an agency report; it's from Saudi Aramco. Cutting its official selling price to Asia by $11 a barrel for August isn't just a competitive move. It's a concession that the world's key growth market isn't growing as expected. Chinese imports are down, and regional refiners are holding back. When the swing producer acts this defensively, it telegraphs a structural shift in the demand landscape that outweighs temporary war scares. That price adjustment will ripple through physical differentials for weeks, anchoring benchmarks lower.
The UAE's record and the OPEC+ unwind
Abu Dhabi's production hit 4.1 million barrels a day in June, a record high after its formal exit from OPEC+. This isn't a blip. It's a deliberate market-share grab that adds a persistent new source of supply. Meanwhile, the broader OPEC+ alliance is in the midst of a five-month unwind, adding another 188,000 barrels per day in August. The collective message is that the group's spare capacity is being methodically returned to the market. These aren't emergency releases; they're scheduled increments that will keep arriving, compounding the global surplus that agencies like the EIA are now forecasting for 2027.
The Strait of Hormuz as a broken alarm
The market's reaction function to the world's most critical chokepoint has broken. A year ago, a tanker attack would have sent prices soaring for weeks. Now, a confirmed strike might lift Brent 7% in a day, only to see it全部 give back the gains by the next session. The Baltic Dirty Tanker Index has collapsed nearly 50% this year, signaling that freight risk—and thus physical disruption—is being priced out. Traders have seen this movie too many times in 2026: a disruption, a recovery, and a return to oversupply talk. Until a closure lasts more than a few days, the spikes are treated as noise.
The EIA's forecast pivot
The U.S. Energy Information Administration didn't just trim its 2026 Brent price forecast; it slashed it from $95.39 to $81.91. That's a dramatic recalibration based on one thing: the faster-than-expected restoration of trade flows through the Middle East. It's a official acknowledgement that the supply system is more resilient than feared, and that the inventory buffer from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, while low, is sufficient. When a conservative agency moves that sharply, it shifts the baseline for every medium-term model. The forecast itself becomes a market factor, reinforcing the bearish consensus among physical traders.
HMX 1.75 Probabilistic forecast chart for Crude Oil, plotting roughly 4 years of price history against a 2 years forward projection. History across the 4 years window has been highly volatile: price retreated 27% off a start around $97.6, peaking near $112.0 and at one point pulling back about 43% from its running high. Today the price is approximately $71.4 (about 36% under the window high); on the forecast it sits below the 1 year P25, which the model reads as potential undervaluation. For the next 2 years, the median projects a rise of roughly 16%, finishing around $83.1. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 70% of the median with the band widening over the horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $61.3, about 14% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $120.0, about 67% above it. Overall the spread is upside-skewed (a fatter tail toward higher prices). Produced by HMX 1.75, a raw aggregation model that combines independent predictions into a single probabilistic forecast; agreement among inputs is not consensus, and there is no guarantee of results.

Model Description
HMX 1.75 is the current production release of the Heatmup forecasting engine. It operates as an equally weighted baseline: every model in the ensemble pool contributes equally to the final distribution, regardless of individual track record. The output is a probability distribution over future price and time for each covered asset, rendered as a heatmap. Percentile bands (P5 to P95) capture 90% of modeled outcomes. Every generated distribution is archived with an immutable ID and public timestamp and resolved later against the realized market price. HMX 1.75 is not an AI system under the EU AI Act; it is a deterministic quantitative aggregation engine.

Methodology
HMX aggregates outputs from a proprietary pool of independent quantitative models operating in strict isolation. Each model produces discrete predictions (date, target price, probability) without visibility into the others. The HMX engine combines these inputs using time-decay weighting, which prioritizes recent data, into a single probability distribution per asset. The process is deterministic: identical inputs produce identical outputs. No machine learning is applied at inference. HMX 1.75 uses equal weighting, meaning every model in the pool contributes equally regardless of historical track record. Accuracy-weighted calibration, where model influence is proportional to resolved performance, is scheduled for HMX 2.0 in September 2026.

('Calibration of HMX 1.75 is measured by assigning each resolved forecast to the percentile band containing its realized price, defined as the OHLC4 midpoint of the resolving bar, and aggregating these assignments across all covered assets and dates into a probability integral transform (PIT) histogram. All published metrics derive from this histogram and the computation is deterministic. Reported metrics are the calibration slope and intercept, Expected and Maximum Calibration Error (the latter equal to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance on the PIT under this binning), prediction interval coverage for the central fifty and ninety percent intervals, reduced chi-square PIT uniformity, and interval sharpness. These are summarized in the Market Intelligence Score, a proprietary Heatmup composite on a zero to one hundred scale that weights calibration error, tail behaviour, calibration slope, distributional uniformity, and sharpness; it is not an industry standard, and its normalization functions are published with the scoring code so the composite is auditable. The current figures describe the equally weighted baseline over the live resolved-forecast window to date and are computed by Heatmup Oy. The underlying resolved-forecast data and scoring code are published so the metrics can be independently reproduced and verified. Measurement of calibration is distinct from a representation that the output is calibrated or guaranteed; the score is a diagnostic.
