Commodities List
 
  • Commodities symbols are created in three parts: the root symbol, the month code and the year code.
  • The month code - each month is represented with a single letter as displayed below:
      F - January J - April N - July V - October
      G - February K - May Q - August X - November
      H - March M - June U - September Z - December
  • The year code - is displayed as one digit. Hence 2008 would be displayed as 8, and 2009 as 9

For example: US (T-Bond) June 2008 would be displayed as USM8.
US is the commodity code
M is the month of June
8 is for the year 2008

Cash contracts, when available, can be obtained by prefixing Y0 (zero) to the commodity code in place of the month and year code.
