Futures contract look at the value at the settlement day. What else? I do not disagree with that statement. What defines the "value" on settlement day? With Eurodollars it is interest rate EXPECTATIONS a full 3 months in the future. Do I like that? Hell no I don't but it is what it is. Short sterling and Euribors trade the same way. With those products you are betting on what the market THINKS will be the rate at a point IN THE FUTURE FROM THE CLOSE. I am 100% positive about that. With the VIX I am proposing it is volatility expectations 30 days into the future (from the close). I am not positive about that. Mish

September wholesale power prices in New England are up 140%, compared with the level a year ago; mid-Atlantic prices are up almost 200%; Texas prices, 125%; California prices, 86%. As steep as those jumps might seem, they pale in comparison to where prices could go, particularly in New England, once the temperature drops. online.barrons.com
