Implied Spot Pricing
The Exchange computes futures curve single day basis using the standard linear form:
Bd = Pbf / Tbf
Where:
- Bd = Basis value for a single day
- Pbf = Price of spread between back-front month contracts
- Tbf = Time in days between back-front month contracts
From the single day basis value, a spot price can be implied from a pricing contract again using the standard linear form:
Si = Pp - (Bd × Tf)
Where:
- Si = Implied spot price
- Pp = Price of pricing contract
- Tf = Time to front month expiration in days
Note: The Exchange has discretion to select the most liquid and representative fair value Front and Back month contracts. These legs may not necessarily be consecutive contract months. The Exchange computes each contract month's price according to the contract's Settlement Price rules.
