Concentrate

Assay × Payable. The only valid concentrate hedge.

Concentrate hedging requires two deductions: assay % (physical metal grade per DMT) and payable % (what the smelter actually pays for). The Product Catalog stores both defaults per product so every shipment derives the correct hedgeable metal MT.

Default hedge methodAssay × Payable %
The hedge story

One hedge method applies

There's only one defensible way to hedge this family. The math leaves no room for interpretation.

Assay × payable %

DMT × A% × P%

Hedgeable MT = DMT × Assay % × Payable %

Assay % is the metal grade of the ore. Payable % is the fraction the smelter pays for. Both deductions apply.

Typical use: Concentrate contracts. Copper, zinc, lead, nickel.
