Part IV

Commodity Futures

In this part . . .

Idiscuss the increasingly important commodity markets in this part. As China and India grow their economies, these areas of the futures markets should continue to be increasingly prominent. Supply rules the roost in all markets, but in these it is even more important. You jump right in with the kings of the hill — oil and energy futures. Then you get into some metal without the leather as you look at gold, copper, and other precious and industrial metals. Finally, I take you down on the farm to fill you in on livestock and agricultural futures.
