Commodity firms are facing extreme uncertainty, increased risk and unprecedented price volatility. Whether buying, selling or trading commodities, managing risk is vital for firms’ survival and growth.
Faced with today’s razor-thin margins, firms must be able to monitor all risks – from operational and logistics, to credit and market risk – holistically, in real time and to hedge effectively. This brings technological challenges, and many firms are now grappling with issues such as getting the right datasets, connecting multiple systems and harnessing new technologies to support this holistic approach to risk
This webinar explores:
- Cross-commodity risk management – gaining a joined-up picture of risk
- The risks of hedging – avoiding under- and over-hedging
- New tools and technologies
- Uses for historical data in the current times of change
- The technological challenges of rewriting algorithms in fast-changing markets.
