CROSS HEDGE

* * *
"кросс-хедж", перекрестное хеджирование: хеджирование при помощи наиболее близкого финансового инструмента при отсутствии фьючерского или опционного контракта на данный инструмент.

The act of hedging ones position by taking an offsetting position in another good with similar price movements.

Although the two goods are not identical, they are correlated enough to create a hedged position as long as the prices move in the same direction. A good example is cross hedging a crude oil futures contract with a short position in natural gas. Even though these two products are not identical, their price movements are similar enough to use for hedging purposes.
