Commodities
Given recent instability, companies in industries from all over are overhauling the way they buy and hedge commodities because it is impacting them right through the supply chain. The move suggests that firms are not viewing the turmoil in the market place as a short term problem but as a long-term challenge.
Today, the physical management of supply is integrated with exchange traded products and leading-edge financial risk management systems. These changes have helped provide senior management with visibility into their cost structures while protecting the bottom line against commodity price risk.
Financial foreign currency risks result from the translation of revenues, receivables, purchases and sales, input raw material costs, liabilities and other monetary items at the closing rate into the functional currency. These risks can be hedged using any number of currency derivatives.
