If futures price is higher than spot price of an underlying asset, it is called as
Contango
A market in which the futures price stands above the spot price is in contango; it is the normal situation when the cost of carry (interest and storage) is positive.
The opposite case, futures below spot, is backwardation, often seen when the asset pays high income or is in short supply.
Convergence is the narrowing of the futures and spot prices as expiry approaches, and divergence is simply a widening gap; neither names the futures-above-spot situation.
Hence, Contango.
