Futures at a discount

The front-month future trading below the cash price — hedging pressure, or supply the market expects.

A future below cash means someone is willing to sell forward cheaper than today's price — usually holders hedging a position they cannot or will not sell, sometimes the market pricing in expected supply. Persistent discounts cluster in stocks under distribution. The reading resets near expiry, when the basis converges to zero by construction, so treat expiry-week prints with suspicion.
