The Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX) contract specification for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures establishes a clearly defined expiry timetable. The last trading day is four business days prior to the 25th calendar day of the month preceding the expiry or delivery month . For example, if the futures contract relates to March, its last trading day falls on the fourth business day before 25 February. This convention allows sufficient time between the termination of trading and final cash-settlement procedures. The DGCX specification applies the same last-trading-day structure to its standard WTI contract and the Mini WTI product, although their contract sizes and tick values differ. Option A incorrectly relates expiry to the final business day of the delivery month, while option B has no basis in the WTI specification. Option D resembles expiry conventions associated with other commodity contracts and is not the applicable WTI rule. Consequently, the contract specification confirms that option C is correct.
