Gasoline Futures Trading Basics
Consumers and producers of gasoline can manage gasoline price risk by purchasing and selling gasoline futures. Gasoline producers can employ a short hedge to lock in a selling price for the gasoline they produce while businesses that require gasoline can utilize a long hedge to secure a purchase price for the commodity they need.
Gasoline futures are also traded by speculators who assume the price risk that hedgers try to avoid in return for a chance to profit from favorable gasoline price movement. Speculators buy gasoline futures when they believe that gasoline prices will go up. Conversely, they will sell gasoline futures when they think that gasoline prices will fall.
