The WTI Crude Oil June 20 futures contract (CLM20) is expected to experience heightened market volatility before it expires, and as a result we will be moving the expiration date of CLM20 forward by one week.

Due to unprecedented levels of market volatility (and an extreme occurrence where we have witnessed the WTI Crude Oil May contract trade at a negative price), we will be taking the following course of action.

We will not be quoting any product at a negative value.

In the event that any product offered by ADSS does touch a price of zero or below, we will settle all positions in this instrument. Please be aware that positions could be settled at a negative price.

At our discretion, we may also turn products to ‘Close Only’ (depending on underlying market conditions).
