The Floating Price is calculated using the non-common pricing convention. In calculating the spread differential, the balance of month average for each component leg of the spread shall be calculated by using all days on which the prices are published in the month (from the selected start date through the end of the contract month, inclusive) for each component leg of the spread, followed by the calculation of the spread differential between the two averages. |
