Navigating a new era of FX risk | The Marex Market Pulse podcast

In this episode of Marex Market Pulse, we explore how businesses are navigating a more complex risk environment, from changing interest rates and geopolitical tensions to supply chain disruption, tariffs and currency volatility.

Featuring Mark Palmer, CEO of FX Europe, the discussion looks at how businesses can take a more proactive approach to FX rather than reacting to individual exposures. We examine how to establish risk appetite, align stakeholders and understand the wider factors that can affect margins and cash flow.

From entering new markets to managing exposure across FX, interest rates, commodities and supply chains, this episode considers what finance leaders should have on their radar and why waiting for the perfect moment to act can itself create risk.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

• How businesses’ approach to risk has changed since the pandemic
• Why FX should be considered alongside interest rates, commodities and supply chains
• How to establish an appropriate risk appetite and align stakeholders
• Why hedging is about more than simply protecting against downside
• The risks of waiting for the right market conditions to act
• How businesses can uncover exposures they may not initially recognise
• The financial considerations when entering new markets
• How CFOs can balance margin and cash flow with wider growth ambitions
• Where businesses can start when reviewing their risk management strategy
