Backwardation: Backwardation is market situation in which futures prices are progressively lower in the distant delivery months. For instance, if the gold quotation for June is $400.00 per ounce and that for December is $390.00 per ounce, the backwardation for five months against June is $10.00 per ounce. (Backwardation is the opposite of contango).
Delivery: Delivery is the transfer of the cash commodity from the seller of a futures contract to the buyer of a futures contract. It is the tender and receipt of the actual commodity, the cash value of the commodity, or of a delivery instrument covering the commodity (e.g., warehouse receipts or shipping certificates), used to settle a futures contract. Each futures exchange has specific procedures for delivery of a cash commodity. Some futures contracts, such as stock index contracts, are cash settled.
Delivery Month: Delivery Month is the specified month within which a futures contract matures and can be settled by delivery or the specified month in which the delivery period begins.
High: High is the highest price of the day for a particular futures or options on futures contract.
