Rollover day

Today is Rollover Day for all equity index futures contracts from the March contract to the June contract . The June contract replaces the March contract as the front month.

Rollover day for all index futures contracts is usually the 2nd Thursday of the named month. The exception is when the named month begins on a Friday. When the named month begins on a Friday, rollover day is the first Thursday of the named month.

Given that different charting services and trading platforms use different symbols for the index futures, the easiest way to move to the June contract is to change the Month designator in the symbol from H to M for all index futures charts and trading platform references.
