Answer: Currently, we use transaction and executable bid data from three consecutive COA futures (1-month Montreal Exchange CORRA futures contracts) and two consecutive quarterly CRA futures (3-month Montreal Exchange CORRA futures contracts).

Answer: A set of Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAP) are calculated using executed transaction prices and executable bids observed during several observation intervals taken over a two-hour interval from 10:00 and 12:00 EST (Eastern Standard Time). These are then used in a projection model to determine Term CORRA Rates. Full details of the calculation methodology are available in Resources.

Publication of the Term CORRA rates will occur on each day at 1:00 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time).
