Abstract Exchange rate uncertainty can have significant effects on the optimal hedging behavior of offshore commodity traders. In this paper, the standard commodity hedging framework is extended first to incorporate exchange rate uncertainty and second, to forward cover transactions in the foreign exchange market. The implications of exchange rate movements and forward cover decisions for offshore commodity hedgers are illustrated using data relevant to hedging Australian export wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade.
