LME Forward Curves - MyDesk

The LME Forward Curves widget provides a summary “thumbnail” forward curve chart for each of the non-ferrous, prompt date system metals. It enables you to rapidly see the structure of the forward curve; if it is in contango or backwardation etc.

In addition, by clicking on each individual metal label, the widget expands to show the settlement data that underpins the chart. This is presented in a series of tables. The first, which is displayed on clicking on a metal displays the “splits”. These are the core spreads taken from the previous LME Closing Prices.
