Commodity traders money primarily of two types - hedging and speculation. This is not an either or situation. Both can be run simultaneously. The first is protected by a strategy of risk management, profits and losses of investment for each screening. The latter is thick and the profit is a more aggressive strategy.
Why protect a dealer? Simple - it is not possible for traders to predict exactly what direction to go, with prices of around 100%, areAccuracy. To make things more difficult not only on the direction prices are moving up, but even during that period of time. Instead of stress is always right, the dealers are a lot of occasions by a hedging strategy.
How does the protection? Let's start with some definitions. The market for cash or "spot" is actually where to buy or sell the physical commodity. Meanwhile, the futures market, whereContracts for the supply of goods at a later date. It 'important to note that while the price of the futures and cash market (spot) are quite close to each other in motion are not exactly moving. This is where the vision comes into play. Base = spot price - futures price.
Dealers and investors have two choices - go short or long run. Going short involves borrowing from your broker and sells them again before you buy at a lower pricePrice. In contrast, in the long run involves buying today, with the expectation that later sold at a higher price to make profits while.
With a hedge, if a trader goes long weakens the contract refers to the cash price for the future. Similarly, short-circuiting of advantage if the host contract has increased the cash price increased based on the futures. Please note that the basis to move in the opposite direction, but the price level of itsabsolute difference between the two counts.
