<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Commodities and commodity derivatives are one of the foundations stones of today's financial markets. The derivatives market is estimated to be worth more than $1.2 quadrillion, with the trade in derivatives dwarfing the trade in the actual underlying physical commodities. Using structures unique to the individual market, each chapter includes an explanation of the commodity and an analysis of its physical market, discussion on the typical patterns of demand and supply and the main factors that will influence the price of the commodity and the main products. Each chapter focuses on how the products could be used along the physical supply chain and seeks to identify the main market risks and how they can be hedged. This expanded edition includes coverage of: theories of price formation, OIS valuation, spread options, options smiles and skews, gold, steel and iron-ore, project finance, crude logistics, refined crude products, US electricity market, dry freight, climate change, price drivers of emissions trading, EU ETS, agricultural markets, ethanol, ETFs, index structures and more"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Commodity Derivatives <p>In the newly revised Second Edition of <i>Commodity Derivatives: Markets and Applications</i>, expert trading educator and author Neil Schofield delivers a comprehensive overview of a wide variety of commodities and derivatives.
