Learn how to build and execute your company’s risk strategy.
Would you like to take control of the price risk in your steel business in these uncertain times? With wild swings in steel prices now 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 Aug. 3-4 (over two afternoons).

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.
