    August 21, 2025
    September futures contracts face first notice August 29 and first delivery September 2, following the Labour Day holiday. The holiday timing prompts early roll trades as managers and dealers attempt to close September contracts ahead of schedule, creating optimal liquid roll dates between August 25 - 27.

Timing options will be active for CGZ and CGF contracts this quarter.
