On December 16, the first annual price contracts were opened in the $6,600 zone and we are sure this factor will push the price up.

But already December 30 the semi-annual contracts M20 will be opened (12/30/19 - 06/29/20).

And December 30, a two-year contract opens and this fact will also push the price up.
