    Oil in EURO !

    Posted on January 15, 2009 at 15:43 in Hedging by Ron Schelling

    Oil futures are normally priced in US Dollars.

    The chart below is the ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) USO and it’s underlying value are several US oil futures.

    USO is a great product for those who can’t take the risk trading futures, but another problem for non-US Dollar trades is the currency risk if you trade the USO ETF in US Dollars.

    Below we see the price of USO (red line) US Dollars and the price of USO in EUR/USD (blue line) while at the bottom the exchange rate of the EUR/USD.

    Of course the difference between the lines is the currency risk for non-US Dollar traders and it shows the importance to hedge US Dollar assets for non US Dollar traders.

    Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
