Mastering the Commodities Markets

Mastering the Commodities Markets is an introduction to both the general commodity markets and to specific products: precious metals, oil, and other hydrocarbons. Beginning with the basics of commodities and how they have developed as an asset class, the book then introduces key commodities, looking at the background and context of each product, their origins and manufacture, key market participants, pricing structures and patterns, risks and how to trade, hedge and use indices. With Mastering the Commodities Markets, you will learn how to invest, hedge, and trade in the related physical, equities, and derivatives markets.
