Answer:
Loss in the contract = -$330.
Explanation:
Selling price per futures contract = $1,696
Current Value of the future contract = $1,707
Since the price has increased, there is a loss.
Loss per contract - 1696 - 1707 = -11
Total loss in the trade = -11 * 10 (size of contract) * 3 (Number of contracts) = -$330
