Noun
[edit]nearby (plural nearbys)
- (finance) A futures contract, of a particular group, whose settlement date is the earliest.
- 1984, Jack D. Schwager, A Complete Guide to the Futures Markets, page 496:
- In each of these markets the nearbys are almost invariably at a discount — a discount that tends to widen in bull markets and narrow in bear markets.
- 1989, Raymond M. Leuthold, Joan C. Junkus, Jean E. Cordier, The Theory and Practice of Futures Markets, page 67:
- The deferred contract should be expected to rise, and buying the deferred while selling the nearby is then profitable.
Usage notes
[edit]Some British writers make the distinction between the adverbial near by, which is written as two words; and the adjectival nearby, which is written as one. In American English, the one-word spelling is standard for both forms. Cf. usage note in closeby.
