Valuation Date

Specific date on which positions are priced for reporting, margining, accounting, or contractual settlement purposes.

The valuation date is the specific date on which the value of an asset, portfolio, or derivative is calculated for reporting, settlement, or accounting purposes.

For example, an oil swap may specify the valuation date for determining cash flows based on the WTI price at that day’s market close.

Valuation dates are critical for fair pricing, performance measurement, and regulatory compliance. They ensure consistent, transparent, and auditable calculations across participants.

Understanding valuation dates helps traders, risk managers, and accountants maintain accurate financial reporting, manage exposure, and resolve disputes in commodity and financial markets.
