Editorial Reviews

Review

" useful addition to the library of anyone interested in entering the commodities markets, or indeed already involved in them..." ----Lloyda s List, 21st April 2001

From the Inside Flap

Trading exchanges all over the world take in a diverse range of commodities, from the naturally occurring, such as wheat, sugar and precious metals, through to intangibles, such as shipping rates, heating degree-days and commodity indices. This book provides traders and executives in companies that both produce and trade these commodities with knowledge of the specific mechanisms that apply to the international markets. It discusses the various established and novel techniques associated with the management of market operations and, importantly, links them in to the economy at large.

Written by internationally recognised authors, International Commodity Trading will prove essential reading for practitioners and also for post-graduate, Masters and Ph.D students on business and finance courses world-wide.

Way too general... July 6, 2010
By jay
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is not really about commodities, it is a basic and general discussion about futures
and options markets. It looks like every other text that regurgitates basic concepts on futures
and options without any real in depth analysis of the individual commodities. They section on
physical markets is what I thought would differentiate this text from others..and it begins to...
but ends after 20+ pages...a bit of a rip off.

A fantastic book. I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to commodities. I was surprised how much detail it went through. It's probably perfect for someone who does not work specifically in commodities but would like to learn about what is available in the way of infrastructure, information, and data.
