Core Viewpoint - The use of financial tools for price risk management in the steel trading industry is becoming increasingly sophisticated, with companies adopting strategies like the "fuse cumulative purchase option" to effectively manage risks associated with price fluctuations [1][4]. Group 1: Industry Background - The black products market has seen increased price volatility due to concentrated production locations and seasonal demand, complicating risk management for related enterprises [2]. - In April 2023, global crude steel production and sales both declined month-on-month, while domestic demand weakened due to the rainy season in southern China, leading to a downward trend in black product prices [2]. - A steel trading company (referred to as Company A) aimed to hedge against rising procurement costs for rebar, anticipating a price rebound in June after a low in May [2][3]. Group 2: Financial Strategy - Company A initially considered using futures for hedging but opted for a "fuse cumulative purchase option" due to concerns about potential losses in a declining market [3]. - The "fuse cumulative purchase option" was designed to provide a safety net during price fluctuations, allowing for procurement at lower prices during downturns and capturing gains during price surges [4][21]. Group 3: Implementation Process - Company A began trading the fuse cumulative purchase option on May 29, 2023, with a procurement plan of 2,200 tons of rebar at an entry price of 3,500 yuan per ton [5][10]. - The option structure included upper and lower price limits, with a compensation mechanism for price movements, allowing for flexible adjustments based on market conditions [6][10]. Group 4: Performance Analysis - The strategy yielded a total profit of 141,000 yuan over the trading period, with an average profit of 64.09 yuan per ton, demonstrating the effectiveness of the fuse cumulative purchase option compared to standard options [11][12]. - The performance of the fuse cumulative purchase option was superior to that of standard cumulative purchase options, particularly in volatile market conditions, allowing Company A to optimize procurement costs [12][21]. Group 5: Conclusion and Advantages - The fuse cumulative purchase option alleviates timing difficulties in hedging, providing a safety net and optimizing procurement costs [21][22]. - It addresses the limitations of standard cumulative purchase options by allowing for early profit realization during significant price increases, facilitating timely strategy adjustments [21][22]. - The design of the fuse cumulative purchase option can be customized to meet specific risk management needs, enhancing its applicability in various market scenarios [22].
