Crude Oil

January 10th, 2016, 6:22 am

Hi, when I looked into the Crude oil quotes at CME, I see some quoted are displayed as 41.30A. For example, the Last price of Jan 17. Could somebody help me to understand what does it mean for "A" suffixed with the numerical quote? Thanks,

There is normally an explanation. For example, clicking on "About this report" provides the following:"The Last column displays the final price at the close of trading on Globex. If the last price is followed by a "B" or an "A", this indicates that the last price was a bid or an ask."
