Futures Curve
The futures curve shows futures prices for contracts of varying maturities for a given underlying asset, plotted by price against time to expiration. It reflects market expectations for future prices, carry costs, and supply-demand dynamics in the horizon of the contracts.
Example: During a routine market review, a risk manager compares the six-month and twelve-month futures prices for crude oil to map the curve and assess carry or storage implications.
