VSTOXX futures
MacroVar monitors the VSTOXX futures slope using the following process:
- MacroVar uses end of day prices for VSTOXX spot and VSTOXX futures of 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months and 6 months.
- For each date and for a specific back month the difference between the specific contract and the contracts before it are calculated and averaged. For example the 2 month future contract slope is estimated by calculating the difference between the 2-month future contract and the 1-month future contract, the 2-month future contract and VIX spot, and both are averaged.
- Once averages for all future back months are calculated, the average is estimated
