Fuel Price Hedging and Why It’s Not as Complicated as You Think - Fuel Buyers Summit
from FreightWaves LIVE: An Events Podcast · host FreightWaves
Fuel buyers tend to shut down, or blank out when the topic turns to “hedging” fuel costs. But, it’s really not that complicated. Elaine Levin, President of Powerhouse, has been in the futures markets for early thirty years, and has taught her own Fuel Hedging Class that has had more than two thousand attendees. When it comes to explaining plainly and simply why hedging for anyone who buys bulk fuel – especially carriers – is critical, it’s Elaine. We’ll get her to answer the basic questions, and also get her take on what is going to drive fuel prices in the next several months. She is joined by Director of FreightWaves Academy, Scott Berhang.
