Next SMU Intro to Steel Hedging Workshop LIVE 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. You will also learn what benefits and risks are involved in choosing a steel hedging strategy.

This workshop will help you to understand:

• What “hedging” is and why so many companies do it
• What makes hedging in steel different from hedging in 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 hedging and metals expert Spencer Johnson of StoneX, this workshop will benefit anyone who is looking for a concise introductory or refresher course.
