Generic Contract RIC

jacktan

Is there concept of a generic contract RIC?

For example in Bloomberg, CL1 refers to the current active WTI Crude contract. This points to CLX4 now, and rolls over to CLZ4 next month. CL2 points to the first deferred contract etc.

If so, what is the naming convention for generic contracts for Refinitiv? I am trying to get ElektronTimeseries data.

Thanks!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

It should be the future RIC rules (RULES2 and RULE5).

For example, future RICs are CLX24, CLZ24, and CLF25. I also found the CLc1, and CLc2.

However, please contact the helpdesk team directly via MyAccount to confirm this.

CLc1 is NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil (WTI) Electronic Energy Future Continuation 1.

CLc2 is NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil (WTI) Electronic Energy Future Continuation 2.
