19 Market Terms... Closing Price: The price at the end of trading on the scheduled day that near-month contract expires-also called the last price. Hedging: Offsetting the price risk present in a spot market position by taking the opposite position in the futures market.

20 Examples Using a Hedging Strategy A natural gas producer sees Sept. Futures Mkt. price is $5.00 per MMBtu, he would like to sell and deliver gas in the spot Mkt. in Sept. at $5. In order to lock in the $5 selling price, the prod. will enter the Futures Mkt. obtaining a futures contract to sell gas in Sept. at $5. When trading on the Sept. futures contract closes, the prod. must offset (hedge) his position by obtaining a futures contract to buy gas at the Sept. closing price. Possible results...
