Contract Details

Where the ICE Brent futures contract references prices roughly two months forward, Dated Brent represents the price of crude in the very near term — cargoes loading within the next 10–30 days. It is assessed daily by Platts and settled at 4:30pm London time. Although described as a physical benchmark, Dated Brent is tradeable and clearable on exchange as a daily contract, with its price built from a combination of near-dated physical cargo values and the 10–30 day Dated Brent forward curve

A CFD is a financial derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price movement of an asset without owning it. The trader enters into a contract with a broker, agreeing to exchange the difference in the asset's price from the time the contract is opened to when it is closed.
