BENEFITS OF HEDGING:
•
Commodities are amongst the most volatile of asset classes
•
Effective price risk management can reduce earnings volatility by shielding buyers and sellers from sudden
and unanticipated market movements
•
Volatile fuel prices can significantly impact profit margins and the ability to duly service debt; the proper
management of price volatility can help to improve budgeting, creditworthiness and the overall balance sheet
