Learn how to build and execute your company’s risk strategy.
Would you like to take control of your steel business’s price risk in these uncertain times? With wild swings in steel prices having become the norm rather than the exception, Steel Market Update, in conjunction with CRU and the CME Group, are here to help.
Join your executive peers for strategic discussions at the next Steel Hedging 201: Advanced Strategies and Execution course, taking place next month on May 5-6 (over two afternoons).
Building on your existing knowledge, this advanced course will focus on defining and developing tailored hedging strategies. Our experts will walk you through how to manage various risk scenarios and how to execute those strategies with a specific end goal in mind.
Participants will understand:
– How to develop a strategy based on your risk profile
– How to use futures and options to advance your marketing efforts without taking on more risk
– Real world examples of actual hedging scenarios
– How to make a more effective linkage between financial and physical steel products
