Commodities List

• Commodities symbols are created in three parts: the root symbol, the month code and the year code.
• The month code - each month is represented with a single letter as displayed below:
  

  	F - January	J - April	N - July	V - October
  	G - February	K - May	Q - August	X - November
  	H - March	M - June	U - September	Z - December

• The year code - is displayed as one digit. Hence 2009 would be displayed as 9, and 2010 as 0

For example: Crude Oil December 2010 would be displayed as CLZ0.
CL is the commodity code
Z is the month of December
0 is for the year 2010
