Commodities Expiry Calendar on Groww: A Smarter Way to Track Every Expiry
Hello Traders,
If you trade in commodities, you already know that unlike equities or standard derivatives, commodity expiries don’t follow a simple pattern. Different contracts expire on different days, and the logic varies across instruments and exchanges. What makes it even more confusing is that futures and options expiries are different.
Let’s say you are tracking Gold contracts and planning a trade around expiry.
You see a Gold Futures contract expiring on the 5th of the month, and assume the Gold Options contract will also expire on the same day. But in reality, the options contract may expire a few days earlier.
As a result, many traders end up:
- Selecting the wrong contract
- Missing key expiry dates
- Dropping off during order placement due to confusion
Here’s how expiry varies across commodities:
- Gold (Futures): Around the 5th of the month (or previous trading day if it’s a holiday)
- Crude Oil (Futures): Around the 19th or 20th of the expiry month
- Agri Commodities (Futures): Usually month-end
- Commodity Options: Typically expire a few days before the corresponding futures contract
Earlier, on Groww, expiry information was available but was spread across multiple touchpoints like contract lists, selectors, option chains, positions, and order screens.
To simplify this, we have built the Commodities Expiry Calendar - a single place to view every expiry across commodities and derivatives in a structured, filterable, and intuitive manner.
