Futures Term Structure
The Futures Term Structure is a graphical representation of the pricing for futures contracts expiring at increasingly distant dates into the future. The most common state of the graph, an upwards slope, indicates a premium must be paid to purchase exposure, or delivery, of an asset in the future. A downwards slope conversely indicates a discounted rate on delivery of an asset in the future. Trends and dislocations within the graph can paint a picture of supply, demand, and liquidity for futures contracts expiring on different dates.
