Managing commodity risk through market uncertainty
- Share to:
Much of the uncertainty is attributed to the attractiveness of commodities markets for
financial players and hedge funds. An investigation by a US Senate committee estimated
that, “over the past few years, large financial institutions, hedge funds, pension funds, and
other investment funds have been pouring billions of dollars into the energy commodities
markets—perhaps as much as $60 billion in the regulated US oil futures market—to try to
take advantage of price changes or to hedge against them.”1
The advent of new commodities—principally carbon dioxide (CO2) allowances—creates
even more risk. As US corporations respond to pressures to go green, carbon takes on
vital importance when companies make investment decisions and plan ongoing operational
improvements
