WTI oil broke $87 this week and is expected to go on rising (though it's now dropped back to a mere $86.78...) And, in broader terms, the last four years in particular have been a demand-driven commodity bull market of a sort seldom seen before - and matched by an explosion in the size and diversity of the commodity derivatives market.
Risk Books' latest publication is Intelligent Commodity Investing, edited by the founders of Premia Capital Management, Hilary Till and Joseph Eagleeye. The book covers research into the dynamics of the commodity market, the perspectives of index providers, active managers, investors and risk managers, and concludes with an exploration of the future - electronic markets, structured products, carbon trading and the Chinese commodity market.
