Abstract

In this chapter, I present a variety of tools used in managing and mitigating different types of risks in the global commodity business. For example, insurance is a risk-sharing technique that is used to mitigate event and operational risks, diversification is a risk-reduction technique to mitigate strategic, operational, and financial risks, while hedging is a risk-transfer technique used to mitigate price and quantity risks. We will see more details on how hedging works using different types of commodity derivatives and the different kinds of markets interacting globally for risk management in commodities.
