Case Study - LME Aluminium
Profile
An aluminum extrusion company importing primary aluminum as a resource material needs the raw material to transform into different products, one of them, aluminum profiles. The company is exposed to a future rise in the price of primary aluminum, referenced to LME Aluminum.
Risk Mitigation
Due to raw material processing times, it is difficult for the company to transfer that price difference to their customers. They decide to hedge their risk of 2,000mt through a financial position, protecting their raw material purchasing price for the next four months.
Results
A hedge was made through Monthly Average Futures (MAF) and the result was very positive financially speaking since the average price of aluminum increased more than 20% during that period. At the end of the 4 months, the hedges resulted in a financial gain of USD 668,707.
Conclusion
The goal of the applied strategy was to offset any potential rise in the LME Aluminum price. The result is a financial gain obtained by a profit made on their hedge, which has offset any potential raw material losses for the overall commercial operation purchase.
