NOTE: Traders are the source for these calculations of fair value, listed in basis points. They are not intended as official quotes of the Kansas City Board of Trade.

Some traders use the figures to get an indication of what the "fair value" of a futures contract might be. The figures are in basis points, above the cash indices, and are derived from the following formulas:

for Value Line®:

VLA*[1%+(T-bill rate - Value Line Investment Survey estimated median yield)]*(Calendar days until futures expiration/360)

Today's fair value figures are based on a T-bill rate of 1.61 for Sep, 1.69 for Dec and an estimated median yield of 2.3% as published in the Value Line Investment Survey.
