Join Your Peers at SMU's LIVE Intro to Steel Hedging Workshop on Feb. 14-15

We will also be offering alternative dates for the virtual training on April 26-27, 2022, for those who are unable to make the February course.

Would you like to learn how to protect your business and minimize the risk associated with unfavorable price changes, by understanding what exactly is meant by “hedging a position”? Take the beginner’s course and you will quickly gain a concrete understanding of hedging basics, and learn what benefits and risks are involved in choosing a steel hedging strategy. 

This workshop will help you understand:

• What “hedging” is and why so many companies do it
• What makes hedging in steel different to other commodities
• The structure of the market and the mechanics of how trades are executed
• The costs and risk involved

You can find out more about the course, and view the schedule here.

Led by a hedging and metals expert, Spencer Johnson of StoneX, this workshop will benefit anyone who is looking for a concise introductory or refresher course.
