With each passing day, the cost of carry of a futures contract
Decreases
The cost of carry is the cost of holding the underlying until expiry (interest on funds plus storage, less income), so the futures price is roughly \(F = S(1 + r\,t)\) with \(t\) the time left.
Each passing day reduces the time remaining to expiry, so the carrying cost embedded in the contract steadily shrinks.
At expiry the time left is nil, the cost of carry becomes nil and the futures price converges to the spot price; it does not rise or follow a hump-shaped path.
Hence, Decreases.
