Contract rolls. A continuous front-month series is two different contracts either side of a roll, and the change across that seam measures the calendar spread rather than the tape. Gold: the two closes belong to two different contracts (GCZ26.CMX then GCX26.CMX) — the change is the calendar spread, not a session move. The level shown is current; the change is withheld. Platinum: the two closes belong to two different contracts (PLX26.NYM then PLZ26.NYM) — the change is the calendar spread, not a session move. The level shown is current; the change is withheld. Soybeans: the two closes belong to two different contracts (ZSX26.CBT then ZSF27.CBT) — the change is the calendar spread, not a session move. The level shown is current; the change is withheld. Feeder Cattle: the two closes belong to two different contracts (GFX26.CME then GFF27.CME) — the change is the calendar spread, not a session move. The level shown is current; the change is withheld.
