NYH ULSHO/Permian WTI Futures Crack

Description

The ICE NYH ULSHO/Permian WTI Futures Crack allows you to trade the spread between ICE NYH ULSHO Futures and ICE Permian WTI Futures. Trading a position in the crack spread results in two separate positions in the underlying futures legs i.e. a long position in ICE NYH ULSHO Futures and a short position in ICE Permian WTI Futures. Both the NYH ULSHO position and the Permian WTI position are physically delivered.

Crack Spreads between NYH ULSHO Futures and ICE Permian WTI Crude Futures defer their dates and terms to the applicable expiry dates of the contracts referenced by the leg markets
