You might ask, what is hedging? Well, let me break it down for you. Every day when we wake up, we speculate a little, will it rain, or will it be cold?

If it\u2019s cold, we wear a sweater. In the world of aluminium, hedging works the same way. When we face risk, there\u2019s always an option to protect against it. For instance, if you\u2019re a consumer of aluminium and you want to avoid market price fluctuations, there is a tool for that: hedging.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy aluminium in the futures market.
