Every ZR delivery listed in 2026

ZR trades 6 delivery months in 2026 (F, H, K, N, U, X). Dates are computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar.

The letter in a contract symbol is its delivery month: F = January, H = March, K = May, N = July, U = September, X = November. The digit that follows is the year.

The rule that sets these dates

Trading terminates on the business day preceding the 15th calendar day of the contract month.

When the volume moves between these months

Grain contracts follow the crop calendar rather than the quarter, so the listed months are uneven and the roll dates do not fall at regular intervals. The active month is the one carrying the volume, not the nearest by date.

What one tick of ZR is worth

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.005, which is $10.00 per contract on a multiplier of 2000. A full point is $2,000.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a ZR footprint and the P&L on a ZR position come from the same numbers.
