Raw material prices risk

Price changes in internationally traded raw materials that affect the costs and thus also the profits of a company (raw material prices risk is linked to the fluctuations in commodities markets as oil, sugar, metals, etc. and their impact on the profitability of the companies dependent on these markets, both for their revenues and costs). Commodity futures contracts can be used to limit this risk. – See hedging, option, price risk, commodity prices, forward contract, commodity forward contract.
