4. Term Of The Day 📚

Basis Risk

📖Definition: The risk that a hedge (often using futures or options) doesn’t move in perfect lockstep with the underlying exposure, causing gains/losses to mismatch

📊Why it matters: Even a “hedged” position can have residual volatility; understanding basis risk helps set realistic hedge ratios, monitor P&L drift, and choose better instruments

💡Example: A jet-fuel buyer hedges with crude oil futures. If jet-fuel prices rise 12% while crude rises only 8%, the hedge leaves a 4% unhedged gap—that gap is basis risk.

Why pay gas for limit orders that never execute? With CoW Swap, you can set an unlimited number of limit orders – more than your wallet balance – then cancel them all at no cost to you. Try Limit Orders.

5. Song Of The Day 🎧

🎧Song: “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” by Lainey Wilson
Genre: Country
Why it hits: A windswept, windows-down anthem—grit and heart over a big, soaring chorus that feels built for open roads
