Hedging
Hedging involves buying or selling of a standardized futures contract against the corresponding sale or purchase respectively of the equivalent physical commodity.
The benefits of hedging flow from the relationship between the prices of contracts (either ready or forward) for physical delivery and those of futures contracts.
Hedging thus performs the economic function of helping to reduce significantly, if not eliminate altogether, the losses emanating from the price risks in commodities.
Hedging is the practice of off-setting the price risk inherent in any cash market position by taking an equal but opposite position in the futures market.
