    The graph depicts how the price of a single forward contract will behave through time in relation to the expected future price. A contract in backwardation will increase in value until it equals the spot price of the underlying at maturity. Note that this graph does not show the forward curve (which plots against maturities on the horizontal).

  6. Demand curve - Wikipedia

They are "merely lumped into intercept term of a simple linear demand function." [14] Thus a change in a non-price determinant of demand is reflected in a change in the x-intercept causing the curve to shift along the x ...
