SINGAPORE, May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jim Rogers and Beeland Interests, Inc. announce that effective with the Rogers International Commodity Index® (RICI®) May 2020 roll period, which roll period begins on May 28, 2020, the RICI and RICI Energy sub-index will continue to hold the Crude Oil (CL) October (V) contract and not roll it to a later month contract. The decision is taken in light of abatement of recent Crude Oil contract price volatility that could yield unintended effects of very small or negative Crude Oil contract pricing on RICI and RICI Energy sub-index calculations. Other than as stated above, the RICI and RICI Energy sub-index rolls will proceed as the RICI Handbook methodology provides for an ordinary roll. In advance of the RICI and RICI Energy sub-index June 2020 roll period, Beeland Interests will evaluate and announce whether and to what month the Crude Oil October (V) contract will roll during such roll period.

The RICI represents the value of a compendium (or "basket") of globally traded commodities employed in the global economy (38 commodity futures contracts), ranging from agricultural and energy products to metals and minerals. The RICI and its various sub-indexes are used by many investment banks and investors throughout the world.
