Steel Market Update and Spencer Johnson, StoneX Financial Inc. - FCM Division, will be conducting a workshop for those who are actively involved in the buying or selling of steel. This workshop is tailored for those looking to understand financial derivatives as an instrument to hedge price risk, protect margins, protect inventories, or offer long-term pricing to their customers. 

The flat rolled steel market is a unique and challenging environment to manage risk, but 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, terminology, and the knowledge of market structure they will need to build a risk management strategy for their own firm.

We are in unprecedented times and conditions are changing rapidly. In these times of uncertainty, StoneX’s unique insight can help bring clarity to market conditions and help improve your decision-making process.
