The bloodied hedging market

Article Abstract:

Treasurers are paying more for risk management because prices in the hedging markets are currently more expensive and more illiquid because of tighter bank financing for hedge funds and derivatives. Tighter bank financing is the direct consequence of more volatile international markets. Creative treasurers, however, are finding more ways of keeping risk management costs down while ensuring adequate coverage.
