The composite chain for the crack spread rolling RICs follow the same structure with the future<br />

contract code followed by ‘C’ <strong>and</strong> then a ‘:’ <strong>and</strong> all this preceded by a ‘0#’<br />

Example: <br />

Individual chains for the months, quarters <strong>and</strong> years are also available, where they follow the<br />

same structure as the composite chain followed by ‘M:’ for month, ‘Q:’ for quarter, ‘Y:’ for year.<br />

Example: <br />

Continuous RICs <strong>and</strong> Chains<br />

The continuous RICs for crack spread of calendar strips use the code of the respective future<br />

contracts followed by ‘C’ then ‘M’ for Month, ‘Q’ for Quarter, ‘Y’ for Year; each of them followed<br />

by ‘c’ <strong>and</strong> 1, 2,..<br />

Example: ICE Gasoil LGO Crack Spread<br />

LGO + C + M + c + 1 -----> LGOCMc1 ------ > the first Month contract continuation<br />

LGO + C + Q + c +1 ----- > LGOCQc1 --------> the first Quarter contract continuation<br />

LGO + C+ Y + c + 1 ------ > LGOCYc1---------> the first Year contract continuation<br />

The composite chain for the crack spread continuous RICs follows the same structure with the<br />

future contract code followed by ‘C’ <strong>and</strong> then a ‘c’ <strong>and</strong> all this preceded by a ‘0#’<br />

Rolling RICs <strong>and</strong> Chains<br />

The first three characters in the rolling RICs for product swaps denote the product; followed by<br />

‘C’ for CIF or ‘F’ for FOB; the next three characters for region; then ‘M’ for Month, ‘Q’ for<br />

Quarter, ‘Y’ for Year; each of them followed by the corresponding one letter code <strong>and</strong> the last<br />

digit of the year.<br />

Example: Naphtha CIF Cargo NWE Outright <strong>Swap</strong><br />

NAP + C + NWE + M + K + 0 -----> NAPCNWEMK0 ------ > May 2010 Month contract<br />

NAP + C + NWE + Q + U +0 ----- > NAPCNWEQU0 -------> 3 Quarter 2010 contract<br />

NAP + C + NWE + Y + Z + 1 ------ >NAPCNWEYZ1 ---------> 2011 Year contract<br />

The composite chain for the product outright swap rolling RICs follows the same structure with<br />

first three characters denoting the product; followed by ‘C’ for CIF or ‘F’ for FOB; the next three<br />

characters for region; then a ‘:’ <strong>and</strong> all this preceded by a ‘0#’<br />

Example: <br />

Individual chains for the months, quarters <strong>and</strong> years are also available, where they follow the<br />

same structure as the composite chain followed by ‘M:’ for month, ‘Q:’ for quarter, ‘Y:’ for year.<br />
