The merchandisers avoid price risk. Processors keep control on raw material cost and decreasing inventory values.

The speculators are the people who try to assimilate all the possible price-sensitive information, on the basis of which they can expect to make profit. They do not create risk, but merely accept the risk, which already exists in the market. They contribute in improving the efficiency of price discovery function of the futures market.
