Commodities hedging is the fourth core service provided by Ryuken Capital. The firm helps its clients manage their risks related to commodities price exposure by combining market insights with access to trusted, regulated trading partners.
Key Points on Commodities Risk
Businesses which buy and sell commodities will inevitably face commodities price risk. The risk in itself is defined as: "The potential losses resulting from adverse price fluctuations on commodities".
Commodities are notorious for being very volatile. At any point in time, huge price increases or spectacular collapses can take place. The impact on a company's financial results can be severe especially if the commodities concerned are used in large quantities and cannot be substituted.
Hedging price risk on commodities has historically been harder than on Forex. However, this does not mean that companies cannot set up an efficient hedging policy which could add significant value in managing unpredictable price swings.
