What are forward curves?
Forward contracts allow for physical delivery of the product, and financial swaps settle against a published index.
A forward curve is a locus of points relating the forward price to the associated delivery date displayed in chronological order. Each forward price represents a value that was transacted at, or could be transacted at, in the present with a delivery taking place at a future date.
Forward curve prices are not forecasts of future values, but instead are assessments of the price of delivery of a commodity at a future date if transacted today.
