Where to Find Contango Charts for Oil and Other Commodities

Our friends over at Hard Assets Investor have just released a new segment called The Contango Report, which charts contango curves and breaks down roll over costs for the energy, metal, grain, and soft complexes.

CONTANGO WATCH: The WTI Crude Oil forward curve shifted significantly: The front-end features much smaller contango, and the back half is now in backwardation.


ROLL COSTS: In turn, the annualized cost to roll the front-month WTIs fell to 13 percent, or, in other words, close to 1 percent on a monthly basis. These costs are more in line with what we've seen over the last 52 weeks (right-hand-side chart).

BOTTOM LINE: Humpbacked Contango
