Hi,

The only site I am aware of which gives Fair Value for S&P futures every
night for "today" is

 http://www.glen-net.ca/sp500_daytrend/

It seems a one-man-shop, so sometimes updates are delayed or missed. But
nonetheless, it gives me what I need, especially since
Fair Value decreases very gradually from day to day. So you can easily
extrapolate forward from yesterday, or a couple days back. Now Fair Value
1-day change for June contract is about -0.1. Sometimes I pick up FV from
CNBC channel (TV). It makes
a basis for a few next days if  the site happens "out of service".

Again, I don't trade S&P futures, and use SP500 June futures vs. SP500 Cash
Index only as early morning, preopening indication of how futures traders
feel about S&P. Or, in other words,  it's the best way for me to be alerted
to important news I might miss otherwise.

Cheers, Vitaly
