- Commodities symbols are created in three parts: the root symbol, the month code and the year code.
- The month code - each month is represented with a single letter as displayed below:
| |
F - January |
J - April |
N - July |
V - October |
| |
G - February |
K - May |
Q - August |
X - November |
| |
H - March |
M - June |
U - September |
Z - December |
- The year code - is displayed as one digit. Hence 2008 would be displayed as 8, and 2009 as 9
For example: US (T-Bond) June 2008 would be displayed as USM8.
US is the commodity code
M is the month of June
8 is for the year 2008
Cash contracts, when available, can be obtained by prefixing Y0 (zero) to the commodity code in place of the month and year code.
