- Target
- Daily settlement price of the front-month CBOT wheat (ZW) futures contract
- Threshold
- 800 (US cents per bushel)
- Window
- 2026-10-05 07:00:00 UTC → 2027-01-01 07:59:59 UTC
- YES rule
- At least one daily settlement price of the front-month CBOT wheat contract exceeds 800.00 US cents/bushel on a trading day within the window.
- NO rule
- No daily CBOT wheat front-month settlement exceeds 800.00 US cents/bushel on any trading day within the window. (Applies only when every trading day in the window has a published settlement; see the missing-data rule.)

- Missing data
- Days with no published settlement (weekends, exchange holidays) are not observations; scheduled non-trading days are never treated as missing. 'Front-month' on a trading day means the nearest-expiring listed contract whose delivery month is later than the current calendar month; the front contract rolls on the first trading day of each calendar month. The exchange's own front-month designation is not used. Resolution: YES if any observed daily settlement in the window crosses the threshold. NO only if every trading day in the window has a published settlement and none crosses the threshold. DATA_MISSING if one or more trading days lack a published settlement for any reason other than a scheduled exchange holiday (an unexpected data gap) and no observed day crosses the threshold — the gap could hide a crossing, so a NO cannot be claimed. If trading in the contract is suspended entirely for 5 or more consecutive trading days within the window, the question resolves DATA_MISSING, pending reviewer decision. This applies only if no observed settlement in the window has crossed the threshold. No observation is ever imputed; absence of data never counts as a NO. Backfill: if missing settlements are later published by the exchange or an authoritative vendor, the question re-resolves to YES or NO on the complete series. Grading: a question resolving DATA_MISSING is voided from forecaster scores.
