Commodity Option Advantages

  • financial tool, with which you can secure against fluctuations of commodity prices
  • by purchasing a commodity option you obtain the right (not an obligation) to settlement between a market price and an agreed fixed commodity price
  • you get the right to the payment of the difference in prices, if the market commodity price develops in your favour
  • contrary to the commodity swap, you are not obliged to pay the difference, if the price develops against you
  • this right has its cost – the premium
  • you pay the premium after the acquisition of the option
  • the amount of premium depends on the agreed price, its comparison with the current price, time period and assumed price movement
  • we distinguish between two basic types of commodity options:
    • Cap (Call) – is used to secure against price increase
