Swiss Franc

Swiss Franc Hedger

A hedger in the Swiss franc market is an individual who uses the futures market to offset price risk when intending to sell or buy the actual Swiss franc. Hedging is possible because the Swiss franc cash prices and Swiss franc futures prices tend to move in the same direction. However, the difference between the cash price and the futures price may narrow or widen. The change in the difference between the cash price and the futures price is called basis risk. Because of the changing basis no hedge can be perfect.

  

Where can you hedge the Swiss franc? The Swiss franc can be hedged on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The CME offers a competitive and transparent market place to engage in efficient hedging strategies. If you are interested in hedging Swiss franc please contact us.

Commodity trading is not suitable for everyone. The risk of loss in trading can be substantial. When trading futures and/or options, it is possible to lose more than the full value of your account. All funds committed should be risk capital. Carefully consider the inherent risks of such an investment in light of your financial condition. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Please do your own research before investing in the futures market. This site contains no investment recommendations.
