Meet The Team ...

Jay Commodities' consulting product focuses on commodities price risk management.

The increasing volatility of commodity prices exposes operating margins and cash flows of both producers and end-users. The development of transparent, consistent, and disciplined hedging programs to manage this risk is critical.

Our aim is to help companies isolate sources of commodities price risk and design tailored solutions for managing this risk in partnership with senior management.

Jay Commodities also delivers client-driven research reports covering various aspects of the metals industry.

Research themes include Managing Volatility, Commodity Super Cycles, Sourcing Strategies, Commodity Betas, and Managing the Supply Chain.

Regular market updates outlining trends in both the physical and futures markets through a combination of fundamental and technical analysis are at the heart of our research product.

Recent consulting mandates have included the design of tailored exchange-based hedging strategies for an aluminum can manufacturer.

As part of our service we conducted a survey of the beverage can sector and identified an opportunity for our client to gain a competitive edge through enhanced risk management techniques.

The prevalence of pass through agreements across the sector meant that customers would migrate to a supplier with the ability to offer long-term fixed price contracts.

The use of futures and options with different maturities has enabled our client to offer customers a range of fixed and variable pricing options.
