Why every aluminium recycler should understand hedging: Learn from Jorge Eduardo Dyszel in this exclusive webinar

Within the aluminium recycling industry, recyclers have a robust demand and running efficient operations does not always mean they will enjoy healthy profit margins. A sudden shift in metal prices, from buying scrap to selling finished products, can swiftly eat away profits, putting businesses at risk even when they are doing everything else right.

Moreover, the metal markets are always in flux and for aluminium recyclers, even the smallest price change can have a big impact on procurement decision-making, inventory valuation, customer agreements and overall profit margins. Although the recyclers would not be able to completely eliminate volatility, they can enhance their responsiveness by implementing effective risk management strategies.

To help recyclers build this capability, AL Circle is hosting the third edition of "Hedging for Recyclers: Become an Expert in 6 Hours," led by internationally recognised LME trainer and risk management consultant Jorge Eduardo Dyszel.
