    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
