  Example sentencesExamples
  In addition, underperformance by the stocks of heavily hedged producers, rising gold prices and materially lower contangos have reduced the incentive to hedge.
  Bear in mind that hedging had its value in maximising income in a falling market, with high contangos, neither of which, if current sentiment persists, are likely to be present for a while.
  We believe there will be some hedging from producers as high prices and contangos start to interest them in securing some profits.

  As shown in the chart above contangos have fallen from the range of 5-6% to today's 1%.

Origin
