Value Added Products
Sold by weight, length, area or count. Hedge the metal inside.
Value-added products span coil by weight, cable by kilometre, and tube by piece. The Product Catalog picks the right method per product (Direct MT, Metal Content %, or Metal Per Unit) so the hedgeable MT derivation matches how the material is actually invoiced.
3 hedge methods apply to this family
Products in this family use different methods depending on how they're invoiced. By weight, by count, or by length.
Direct MT hedge
1:1 weightHedgeable MT = Qty × UOM factor
Commercial weight equals base metal. The hedgeable figure is the commercial weight converted to MT.
Typical use: Refined metals. Ingots, cathodes, billets, wire rod sold by weight.
Metal content %
Gross × MC%Hedgeable MT = Qty × UOM factor × Metal content %
A known fraction of the gross weight is base metal. Hedge the physical exposure only.
Typical use: Scrap (zorba, twitch, tense, dross) and alloy VAP with specified metal content.
Metal per unit
Qty × MT/unitHedgeable MT = Qty × Metal per unit
Sold by non-weight unit. Each unit carries a fixed metal load from the technical data sheet.
Typical use: Cable (MT/KM), conductor (MT/m), coils by count, scrap bundles by piece.
