In this post, we will be comparing the Futures vs Spot Prices for WTI Crude Oil, i.e., the WTI Futures series with the WTI Spot series. The futures prices generally show high volatility and they are more volatile than the underlying spot price. For this purpose, it would be interesting to compare future and spot prices on the same asset and see some metrics of volatility. First we will plot both series for the same period and then will implement a function to get some volatility metrics for each series.
