Nearly 90% of mid-sized companies across North America and Europe are now utilizing currency hedging to manage financial risks amid rising geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility. A recent survey by software provider MillTechFX reveals that 88% of firms in North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom currently hedge their foreign exchange exposure, a notable increase from 81% recorded a year earlier. Among the companies that do not yet hedge, approximately two-thirds are considering the practice due to the current economic climate.
