Termination, please advise

That's just the nature of employment so I'd say move on and put it behind you

Work dries up, employers need to cut costs, etc.

Even as a full time employee you can be given notice and asked to work up until that notice period for any supposed reason

Depending on the employer and the nature of the work you can be escorted out of the building and then paid for doing nothing or continue to go to work in order to be paid

I'd be surprised if this even came up in an interview as contracts tend to be short lived anyway

Full time employees are the only ones who need to explain why a job ended as a future employer needs to know how committed they are to their job, how long they'll stay, how well they get on with others, etc.

But as for CVs or if you're asked in an interview just quote the start and end dates and say that's simply how long the contract lasted because that's exactly what has happened

You are just trying to wind me up with that aren't you??
You can't be that daft.

In the last bank I worked in the PMs were under tremendous pressure every quarter to justify all contractor resources, so doesn't surprise me they terminated at the slightest hint of inefficiency.
