01 — SUMMER PEAK
August is the high point
If the curve spikes in summer, that usually means the market expects tighter conditions and higher cost.
02 — SHORTER WINDOW
The spread matters
The gap between quiet months and expensive months helps show when pricing is most favorable.
03 — NEXT STEP
Review before the window closes
If the market looks expensive now, the safest move is to review the bill or book a briefing before renewal pressure builds.
