With the complex risks businesses face in uncertain and volatile markets, the need for effective hedging tools to manage price risk is vital. The CME Group cash settled (Platts) Black Sea Wheat and Corn futures and options provide grain businesses with effective price and counterparty risk management tools for the region.
