What is cross-asset hedging and how do traders use it in forex?

Cross-asset hedging involves using instruments outside forex to offset currency risk. Example: if an investor is long AUD/USD and worried about a downturn, they might hedge by shorting copper futures, since AUD correlates strongly with commodity demand. Similarly, oil futures hedge CAD exposure, while gold often offsets USD weakness. Institutions use cross-hedges to manage portfolios without over-concentrating in forex markets. Retail traders can apply simpler versions, such as using gold to hedge USD exposure. Benefits: diversification and reduced reliance on a single market. Risks: correlations are dynamic and may break during crises. Cross-hedging works best when grounded in economic logic (commodity-linked currencies, equity-linked flows). Done well, it transforms hedging from a blunt stop-loss into a multi-layered risk shield.
