Monthly Average Price

Price calculated as the arithmetic average of daily settlement prices across a full calendar month.

The monthly average price is the arithmetic average of daily prices over a calendar month. It is widely used in oil contracts for pricing stability.

This mechanism smooths daily volatility and reduces sensitivity to short-term market fluctuations. It is common in physical supply and long-term swap agreements.

Monthly averaging can benefit both buyers and sellers, depending on price trends. Traders must consider timing effects carefully.

The approach emphasizes longer-term fundamentals over intraday market noise.
