To name a specific contract in a financial futures market, the month code will follow the contract code, and in turn be followed by the year. For example, CLZ8 is the December 2008 NYMEX crude oil contract. CL denotes crude oil (crude light), Z corresponds to the December delivery month, and 8 refers to 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words month and/or codes:
“It makes little sense to spend a month teaching decimal fractions to fourth-grade pupils when they can be taught in a week, and better understood and retained, by sixth-grade students. Child-centeredness does not mean lack of rigor or standards; it does mean finding the best match between curricula and children’s developing interests and abilities.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
