US Crude CFD Product Composition?

[icarus666]

Morning all,

I have endeavored to find the answer to this question elsewhere, but have struggled... so hoping someone here may be able to point me in the right direction!

How is the price of the US Crude CFD derived?

Am I right in thinking that it is a weighted average of the May-20, June-20 and July-20 future contracts?

If so, in what proportion?

Thank you all

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction - makes perfect sense.

Just another appended question if you don't mind - why can I get up specific future contracts (June, July etc.) when I'm on my ISA and Spreadbetting account, but now when on my CFD account?

apologies if I've misunderstood your question, the isa is a non-leveraged account so won't do futures. A spread bet is a type of cfd and so has the same futures and forwards markets available as the cfd platform.

Apologies for the poor initial phrasing -- will try again!

What ticker did you search on your CFD account to access the above charts?
