Overview

In this course, we will explore the critical role of hedging and derivatives in managing risk and enhancing profitability within the dynamic world of commodity trading. You will learn how traders, producers, and consumers use financial instruments like futures, options, and swaps to protect against price volatility and secure predictable outcomes in an otherwise unpredictable market. We will cover key concepts such as risk management strategies, market structures, pricing mechanisms, and the regulatory environment governing derivatives and hedging of commodities.

This intensive 9-hour course (3 sessions of 3 hours each) is led by industry experts, combining theory, practical case studies and immediately applicable tools.

We place strong emphasis on practical cases and hedging scenarios across the three main commodities (energy, agri, metals), aiming to simulate real market conditions. 

Let’s dive into the world of hedging and derivatives and take your knowledge of commodity trading to the next level!
