Motivation

Global trends and their impact on commodity management Volatility fueled by market dynamics Increasing demand in emerging markets (China and India) is creating a tight balance between supply and demand Geopolitical uncertainties Increasing focus on risk management Increased focus on risk management by crisisshaken executives, driven by the need to protect earnings and keep company operations running Rising influence of hedge funds and financial institutions Compliance with government regulations like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Companies struggle to keep up and comply with regulations like hedge accounting laws Strong demand for business solutions designed to meet these requirements 2012 SAP AG.

Commodity prices are volatile Commodity Price Volatility is constantly increasing for commodities like Oil, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Sugar and Wheat. Volatility is significantly higher than for currencies or interest rates Volatility has a high impact on the profit of many companies Calculating and managing the material cost for end products is difficult Liquidity and cash planning becomes challenging Hedging with financial derivatives can be a strategy to manage the challenges of volatility Source: Commerzbank /Wirtschaftswoche Commodity radar screen for March 2012 2012 SAP AG.
