Maturity calendar

ASX Grain Futures

ASX Grain Futures are deliverable contracts. Each Delivery Period begins on the second business day of the contract month and ends at 3pm (trading ceases at midday) on the Last Trading Day. The Last Trading Day and Maturity Date is the third Thursday of the contract month, provided this is a trading day.

Holders of long (bought) futures positions should note that allocation of deliverable stock during the delivery period is an automated random process and could therefore be allocated at anytime.
