jpl + 1 JP April 17, 2020 (edited) When the oil market is in Contango and the next month's contract is priced say $3 higher than the current month's contract with 10 days left before the current month's contract will expire. Will that $3 difference usually reduce the closer we get to the expiration date? Or is it more common that this price difference remain until the actual expiration causing "current contract CFDs" to gap?

Bob_W + 37 BW April 17, 2020 I can't answer your question directly, but if contango is a serious concern you might look into some of the actively-managed ETFs that aren't locked into fixed front-month contracts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you give me some examples of ETFs that are locked into fixed front month contracts? I currently trade the HOU on the TSX. Would that be affected by front month contracts?

The managers can roll contracts into any month within the next 13 months. USL is an ETF that rolls over contracts into all of the next 12 months. Sorry, I can't help with ETFs on the TSX exchange.
