SMU's Intro to Steel Hedging: Managing Price Risk Course is 2 Weeks Away

The flat-rolled steel market is a unique and challenging environment to manage risk. This introductory course will explain the basics of how financial products work for the steel industry through basic real world scenarios.

Building up from the basics of why firms use these products and what advantages they offer, participants will take away a concrete understanding of hedging basics and terminology. They will also develop a knowledge of the market structure they will need to build a risk management strategy for their own company.

There will be resources to download and live networking. There will also be extended time to explore the workshop material and to message the instructors after the live programming with specific questions.
