Ratecast Information

If selected, Ratecast information will also be listed on the spreadsheet

The rate displayed for each month is median forecasted rate. The median is the middle point of a number set, in which half the numbers are above the median and half are below. So, the median forecasted rate is the median of all of the forecasts for that month.

This is a different than rates viewed on a single-lane lookup as the rates there are displayed weekly for each month.
