Rapeseed Futures Trading Basics
Consumers and producers of rapeseed can manage rapeseed price risk by purchasing and selling rapeseed futures. Rapeseed producers can employ a short hedge to lock in a selling price for the rapeseed they produce while businesses that require rapeseed can utilize a long hedge to secure a purchase price for the commodity they need.
Rapeseed 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 rapeseed price movement. Speculators buy rapeseed futures when they believe that rapeseed prices will go up. Conversely, they will sell rapeseed futures when they think that rapeseed prices will fall.
