Suppose it is November 2022. Delloit Refineries Bhd is expected to receive 20,000 MT of CPO (Crude Palm Oil) in January 2023 and place an order from Tesla Plantation for that quantity. Due to future CPO spot price uncertainties, Delloit wants to lock in the price now and decides to hedge 65% of the projected price increase for the January physical delivery of 20,000 MT of CPO.
